The Garrett County Steps to Better Health Committee (STEPS) is offering three scholarships to Garrett County residents who are pursuing a career in a health care field.
“We want to encourage Garrett County residents to work toward a career in a health care field,” said Bob Stephens, Steps Committee Chairman. “With the way the pandemic has unfolded in the past year, we all have a better understanding of the importance of health care.”
The three $500 scholarships will be awarded to two 2021 Garrett County graduating high school or home school students living in Garrett County, and one non-traditional student enrolled at Garrett College.
Additional requirements include:
• Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher
• Plan to major in a health-related field at a two or four-year college
• Demonstrate character and leadership
• Demonstrate involvement in extra-curricular and/or community activities
Applications are due by April 20, and are available at each high school guidance office, at Garrett College, and at https://bit.ly/2021-app.
Submit applications or questions to [email protected], or mail applications to: Administration (STEPS Scholarship), Garrett County Health Department, 1025 Memorial Drive, Oakland, MD 21550.
The STEPS Committee is composed of local businesses, public agencies, and private citizens, who want to improve the overall wellness in the community. The committee is the organizing body for the Garrett County Health Fair and Family Fun Festival, which unfortunately will not be held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 State of Emergency.
