Thank you for your interest in Appalachian Regional Healthcare’s (ARH) Scholars Award.

This is a scholarship program designed to help fund the cost of education for those interested in seeking a career in healthcare. The award is currently open to all those living in any of the thirteen ARH communities. Depending on the course of study, the award will be tailored to meet individual financial needs. ARH will pay tuition directly to the school of choice. Most importantly, ARH will also provide each recipient a mentor to better ensure the successful completion of the program.

The application process for the ARH Scholars Award must be completed online using the form below. For consideration for the current session, the deadline for applications is March 22, 2020. Applications received after deadline will not be accepted.

The ARH Scholars Award program is not necessarily designed to cover the entire cost of study and awards will be provided based on need and individual achievement.

Award recipients will be notified via registered mail. Legal documents will be provided detailing scholarship protocol and may include options for employment. We wish every applicant the best of luck in both their application for the ARH Scholars Award and their next exciting course of study.

Please CONTACT US with any additional questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you!
