Health Sciences Award

The FHMS Health Sciences Scholarship was created for graduating High School Seniors in Chautauqua County. The $1,000 scholarship is awarded to 3 qualifying students who are enrolling full-time to receive a degree in public health, health science, nursing, or another health-related field.

Access to quality healthcare is essential for good health, but like most rural areas, residents often experience barriers such as transportation, health insurance coverage or the limited availability of healthcare providers and specialists in rural communities. We hope by supporting our local students in their college level studies they will return to Chautauqua County to practice in their chosen medical field.
