Viola Thompson Scholarship Fund Now Accepting Spring 2024 Applications
December 01, 2023
HSHS Holy Family Hospital is accepting applications for the Viola Thompson Scholarship Fund for the spring 2024 semester.
The Viola Thompson Scholarship Fund supports students pursuing a career in the health care field. Any person accepted into, or currently enrolled in a health care professional curriculum offering a degree or certification is eligible. Once awarded, the student remains eligible for ongoing semester scholarships. Other terms and conditions may apply.
The scholarship fund trust was created in memory of Viola Thompson in 1981. Viola was a teacher, dedicated Christian woman, did not have children and lived very frugally. She bequeathed $350,000 to the hospital to be put into a trust fund for training nurses and other health care personnel.
Starting Wednesday, Nov. 1, applications for the spring 2024 semester will be accepted online at hshsholyfamily.org/scholarships, through Thursday, Nov. 30. Winners will be announced in January 2024.
