The scholarship program is made possible by the fundraising efforts of Adena’s Volunteer Advisory Council and the Adena Women’s Board. Additionally, generous contributions from Adena caregivers, former scholarship recipients and the public also contribute to the funding.

Qualified students must be working toward a degree in health care and live in Adena’s 12-county service area. Scholarship applications are available in the spring of each year. Information and application forms are posted on www.adena.org.
