CHH Auxiliary offers scholarships

TORRINGTON — The Charlotte Hungerford Hospital Auxiliary is offering 10 $1,000 scholarships to local students pursuing an education in the healthcare field. Two additional scholarships, the Doctor Alfred Fabro Award and the Doctor Joseph Curi award will also be presented in the amount of $1,000 each.

Applicants must be planning to matriculate at a college or institution of higher education for a health care degree prior to applying and accepted before the scholarship is awarded; or be currently working toward a degree or certificate in healthcare and planning a health care career. Applicants must reside in a community served by Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and are not available to CHH employees due to their access to the hospital’s Employee Tuition Reimbursement Program.

Applications and instructions for completing the application may be obtained by e-mailing CHHscholarship@gmail.com. Area colleges and high schools also have applications available on line through their Guidance Departments.

All completed applications must be printed out and sent by mail, postmarked no later than March 14. Send finalized applications to the attention of Judith Hogan, 15 Minerva Lane, Litchfield, CT, 06759. A letter will be sent to all applicants the first week of May notifying them of their status.
