Skaggs Foundation accepting scholarship applications

Skaggs Foundation is looking to make another investment in the future of healthcare. Now through Nov. 7, the Foundation is accepting scholarship applications from individuals who are looking to enter or further their careers in the medical field.

Since inception in 2002, the foundation has awarded more than $453,000 to students studying for a career in the medical field. 

“We are committed to supporting our local healthcare workforce and that includes those who are furthering their careers as well as those who are looking to enter the field,” said Skaggs Foundation President Meghan Connell. “We are blessed to be able to provide a hand up to individuals, many of whom could not otherwise afford to continue their education.” 

To be eligible, applicants must reside in Taney or Stone counties, or Boone County, Ark., be an employee of Cox Medical Center Branson or the family member of a Cox Medical Center Branson employee. Applications for the spring 2023 semester are being accepted now through Nov. 7. To learn more about Skaggs Foundation’s scholarship program or to apply, visit SkaggsFoundation.org.
