Recipients selected for 2018 ANTHC scholarship
September 19, 2018
The 2018 ANTHC Scholarship was recently awarded to 10 qualified Alaska Native or American Indian students who are pursuing higher education in health care-related professions.
ANTHC’s Human Resources department received 120 applications during the 2018 application period, representing great promise for the future health care workforce in our state. The Scholarship Selection Committee selected recipients based on their grade point average, major field of study, strength of character illustrated in their letters of recommendation, and the honesty and sincerity of their personal statement. As this is a statewide scholarship, the selection committee also aimed to select qualified recipients who represented various regions and Tribes across the state.
The $5,000 ANTHC Scholarship was established by the Board of Directors to help support Alaska Natives/American Indians pursuing higher education in health-related fields. Students may use the scholarship for room/board, tuition, books, or fees during the fall 2018 and spring 2019 terms.
