R.N. Scholarship Program
Program Summary
In support of our continuous growth and
development initiatives, Sacred Heart Health System encourages
all associates and outside applicants to pursue an Associate
and/or Baccalaureate in the field of Nursing.
Sacred Heart will provide financial assistance
to selected applicants through our Nursing Scholarship Program.
This program allocates monies up to $2,500.00 per year payable
on a semester/quarter basis. In exchange, the scholarship
recipient commits to work one year for Sacred Heart Health
System on a full-time basis for each year he/she participates
in the program.
Scholarship Criteria
- Completed Scholarship Application
- Copy of Letter of Acceptance from an
Accredited Nursing Program
- Copy of Official Transcripts from last
school attended (High School or College)
- Three Letters of Personal/Professional
Reference (SHH associates must obtain a reference letter
from his/her Patient Care Manager)
Selection Process
The selection process will be based upon
the written application, official transcripts, and personal/professional
references.
- The Nursing Scholarship Selection Committee
will review all completed scholarship packets and make recommendation
for selection.
- A personal interview with a hospital
representative may be scheduled.
- Utilizing the scholarship criteria and
Application Screening Matrix, applicants are selected based
on a point system.
- Only completed applications along with
required criteria received by the deadline date will be
considered.
Payment Process
- Nursing Administration will notify scholarship
applicants of acceptance. At the time of the initial scholarship
payment, the scholarship recipient must sign a contractual
agreement committing to work for Sacred Heart Health System
upon completion of the Accredited Nursing Program.
- The payment process for scholarship
monies is preceding the
commencement of the semester/quarter.
- The scholarship recipient must maintain
a 3.0 GPA or better and provide a copy of grades and next
semester schedule prior to receiving the next scholarship
payment.
- The scholarship recipient who fails
to complete the course of study will be required to repay
with interest at the current prime rate plus 1%. The scholarship
recipient will be responsible for repayment of the loan
equivalent in timeframe to length of participation in the
program (i.e., 12 months of schooling would require loan
repayment over a period of no longer than 12 months).
- Upon graduation, should the scholarship
recipient fail to pass the required licensing exam at the
first opportunity, he/she may continue to work at Sacred
Heart Health System in a different position for which he/she
is qualified. The time the scholarship recipient works in
a capacity other than the one for which the scholarship
was intended will not count toward the commitment time.
The scholarship recipient must agree to take the licensing
exam at the next offering.
- Upon graduation, should the scholarship
recipient decline employment with Sacred Heart Health System
or be unable to pass the licensing exam, the scholarship
recipient will repay the loan with interest at current prime
rate plus 1% as specified above.
