MARYSVILLE – Marysville, KS – Applications are now available for Community Memorial Healthcare (CMH)’s Hoppenstedt and CMH Foundation Nursing Scholarships.
The Hoppenstedt Nursing Scholarship, made possible through the Henry W. Hoppenstedt Trust, will be awarded to a student who has been accepted into a registered nursing program at an accredited school of nursing. Awarding the scholarship reflects Hoppenstedt’s high regard for nurses, and is an important way in which CMH can address today’s nursing shortage while assisting those students who are dedicating their careers to the nursing profession.

This scholarship awards funds of $1,000 per semester with a maximum of $2,000 per year.
