Stanly Health Foundation awards two scholarships annually to students pursuing careers in healthcare:
The Stanly Health Foundation C. B. Crook Family Scholarship ($5,000) honors the years of philanthropic work by the late C. B. Crook and his wife, Betty. The Crooks have been philanthropic champions for the Foundation since its inception in 1990, and Mr. Crook led the Stanly Society for more than twenty years.
Applying for both scholarships? Only one application needs to be submitted.
The Stanly Health Foundation Roy and Lou Hinson Scholarship ($2,500) celebrates the late Roy Hinson’s forty-one years of dedicated service to our hospital and his wife, Lou, who is retired from public education and provided many years of volunteer support to the Roy M. Hinson Cancer Center.
Applying for both scholarships? Only one application needs to be submitted.
Both of these scholarships require that students have completed at least 60 hours of undergraduate course work by June of the year of application and be accepted into a healthcare field of study.
Toni Watson, recipient of the C.B. Crook scholarship in 2018, graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2011 with her BSN. She returned to Stanly County and currently works in the Women’s Services Department of Atrium Health Stanly. While she continues to work and raise her young family, she is pursuing the schooling needed to become a Family Nurse Practitioner.
“I am incredibly thankful to have received a scholarship from the Foundation in 2007 that helped me obtain my BSN. I was blessed enough to receive another scholarship from the Foundation this past year as I pursue my goal of becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. I look forward to using my education to better serve others in my community.”
