Health Foundation Scholarships
Scholars Program
The PVH Health Foundation initiated a financial aid program in the late 1980s in response to the shortage of health care professionals in both the Ohio Valley and state of West Virginia, and to offset the increasing costs of higher education. Since that time, 216 students have benefited from the scholarship program.
To be eligible for financial assistance from the PVH Health Foundation, the recipient must:
- Be a resident of Mason County, West Virginia, or Gallia or Meigs counties in Ohio
- Have graduated from an accredited high school or possess a GED certificate
- Have been accepted for admission and declared a major area of study in a clinical health care field at an accredited program of higher education in West Virginia or Ohio
- Submit two letters of reference from individuals familiar with the applicant’s academic and/or employment history, as well as copies of official school transcripts, to: PVH Health Foundation, c/o Georgianna Tillis at 2520 Valley Drive, Point Pleasant, WV, 25550.
Application materials must be received by the PVH Health Foundation by Saturday, April 1, 2023.
