Jean Myers Gift Gallery Scholarship Program
Medina Hospital Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school program.
Jean Myers Gift Gallery Scholarship Program
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

- Dependent* children, age 25 and under, of full-time or part-time Medina Hospital employees who have a minimum of one year of employment with the company as of the application deadline date.
*Dependent children are defined as natural and legally adopted children, grandchildren or stepchildren living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
OR

Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award in the amount of $1,000. Up to seven (7) scholarships will be awarded each year.
Provided there are qualified applications, at least four of the awards will be granted to applicants who have volunteered at Medina Hospital in the last 12 months, completed at least 40 hours of volunteer service and are in good standing.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Applicants will be notified in May. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients.
