In 1967 the Guild created a scholarship fund to further the education of Thompson Health associates. To this day, the health system and the Guild continue to contribute funds to qualified associates' tuition bills.
In addition, the Guild established an annual scholarship fund that awards up to five $2,000 scholarships to deserving seniors in the service area of Thompson Health.
Scholarships are given by the Guild to encourage young people to enter one of the many health care fields of study. Scholarship recipients must be registered in a human health-related field and must successfully complete their first college semester with the intent to study the second semester in a human health-related field. The Thompson Health Guild will award up to five scholarships each year, depending on applications received for viable student candidates.
General Guidelines for the Thompson Health Guild Scholarships are as follows:
