The Flambeau Hospital Auxiliary awarded five $1,000 scholarships last year to students pursuing careers in the medical field. The FHA encourages students to apply for the Auxiliary’s $6,000 in scholarships to be awarded this summer.
Last year, the FHA Scholarship Committee met to decide the five 2014 winners of $1,000 scholarships. Then, soon after receiving his check, Kevin Clinton, son of Nancy and Richard Clinton of Phillips, contacted the FHA to offer the money back because he had been awarded a Nurse Corp Scholarship through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources that would cover all of his expenses for completing his Master of Nursing Degree at UW-Milwaukee, in exchange for two or three years of service at a critical shortage facility. The Auxiliary always wishes it could award a scholarship to every applicant, and his returned check enabled the FHA to award the money to another deserving student. The following five winners each received $1,000.
Rebecca Homann, daughter of Arla and Mike Homann of Park Falls, received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in May 2015 from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UWEC). Rebecca completed the nursing program earning both nursing and university honors.
