MDH Accepting Applications for Loans/Scholarships

The Auxiliary to McDonough District Hospital is now accepting applications for health career loans and scholarships for the 2009-2010 school year.

The Auxiliary Scholarship Fund offers assistance to students enrolled in a curriculum leading to a career in a health-related field or to McDonough District Hospital employees who wish to expand their skills through additional course work, job-related seminars, or professional certification programs. Also available is the Ruby Teel Health Career Scholarship, an MDH Nursing Scholarship, and the Gayle and Ron Peterson Nursing Scholarship. Applications for these scholarships may be made in conjunction with the Auxiliary scholarships.

Interested persons may also apply for additional funding through the MDH and Auxiliary loan program. Upon completion of the education, loan recipients may repay their loan in full or if employed by MDH, may apply a portion of their salary or hourly wage ($1 per hour worked) toward repayment of the loan.

For more information, call (309) 836-1577, or pick up an application in the Human Resources Department on the lower level of the hospital. You may also download an application from our website by clicking on the Health Careers Loans/Scholarships link on the main menu. Completed applications must be submitted no later than June 1, 2009.
