The 2025 – 2026 Health Alliance of Clinton County (HACC) Medical Scholarship application process is open. Each year Health Alliance assists employees working in a medical field or office within Clinton County, Ohio. Last year, five local students earned $2,000 scholarships to advance their education.
Applications are due by June 23, 2025, 11:59pm. Log into the Scholarship Portal to begin applying.
Here’s who is eligible:
- Available to employees of hospitals and health systems in Clinton County like Clinton Memorial or Kettering Hospital.
- Available to employees of local health care providers’ offices located within Clinton County – including physician, dental, pharmacy, hospice, EMS, and rehabilitation.
- An applicant must have worked at that place of employment for at least one year by the application due date.
- Past recipients of a Health Alliance Scholarship are eligible to re-apply.
Scholarships:
- Scholarships will be awarded to an employee pursuing a degree, advanced degree, or certification in any healthcare field. This employee must continue to work with the said employer during the period of the scholarship or the eligibility will cease, unless the employment is terminated under no fault of the recipient due to dismissal or layoff.
- Medical scholarships are paid directly to a qualified not for profit institution.
- Should the recipient terminate his/her employment during the period of the scholarship, the recipient agrees to repay the scholarship amount received to The Health Alliance of Clinton County upon request of the committee.
- Funds are intended to be used for tuition and fees for enrollment, attendance, and course-related expenses like fees, books, supplies, and equipment required of all students for courses of instruction. Tuition and educational fees must be billed by the institution and included on an invoice.
Recipients are expected to claim their scholarship funds within 12 months of award. Only nonprofit institutions are eligible to receive funding. For profit colleges are not eligible to receive funding.
