The Witham Health Services Volunteer Organization is pleased awards three $1,000.00 scholarships to Boone County High School Seniors pursing continuing education or a degree program in a health-related field. The Volunteer Organization awards these scholarships annually to provide support and encouragement to the students as they begin their secondary education.
Amy Mitchell, Director of the Witham Volunteer Organization stated “we are thankful to be able to provide these scholarships each year, to recognize each student’s hard work and scholastic achievements and support them on their educational journey.” Mitchell further noted “The Witham Volunteer Organization partners with various community organizations throughout the year to fundraiser for the scholarship program and those fundraiser dollars are given right back to the students of our community. It really is a win-win, Mitchell said. “We are grateful to be able to offer this program and support the students in this way.”
This year’s scholarship recipients are: Martha Sheets, Ella Shepherd and Rebekah Letsinger. Martha will be studying nursing at IU Bloomington, Ella will be studying speech, language and hearing sciences at Purdue University and Rebekah will be attending Medical School for Physician Assistant at DePauw University.
Witham Health Service’s Volunteer Organization is proud to support the students of Boone County with these scholarships. Scholarship applications and additional information about applying are available at each High School’s Guidance Counselor’s Office.
