Scholarships

The Buhl Regional Health Foundation provides scholarships to students pursuing careers in health-related fields. We believe that by supporting students in the health care profession, it will enable them to grow and develop skills that will contribute to the overall health and well-being of the community.

Scholarship Applications are open from January 16 – February 28, 2023.  Scholarships are available to graduating seniors in Mercer County who are going into a health care field pursuing a diploma, certificate or degree.

Buhl Regional Health Foundation Scholarship Funding has been established to provide financial support to graduating seniors in Mercer County who are going into a health care field pursuing a diploma, certificate or degree. These are limited, one-time, non-renewable grants that are paid directly to the educational institution and applied only to the tuition of a student who is enrolled and in good standing.

Grant recipients are high school seniors who are well-balanced and are most likely to succeed in their chosen professions by giving back to their community in a health care role.

  1. Must not be a family member of the Foundation’s director, officers, employees, Scholarship Committee Members, or substantial contributors
  2. Must be a high school senior and resident in Mercer County.
  3. Be pursuing a diploma, certificate or degree in a health care field.
  4. Must be enrolled as a full-time student for the upcoming academic year at an accredited college, university or school of nursing (school itself must maintain a regular faculty and curriculum and have a regularly enrolled body of pupils or students in attendance at the place where educational activities are regularly carried on.)
