“The TCMH Healthcare Foundation golf tournament assists us in developing the funds needed for our scholarship program, and it helps provide resources for capital projects,” said Jay Gentry, TCMH Healthcare Foundation director.
The foundation awards four $1,000 scholarships during the school year — two in the spring and two in the fall — given since 2006. The scholarships are awarded to students in the TCMH service area that are pursuing additional education in a healthcare field.
The foundation has awarded more than $75,000 in scholarship funds since the program began.
It is accepting applications for two $1,000 scholarships and other foundation-administered scholarships that will be awarded for the fall academic semester.
