Sanford Health wants to remind everyone of their annual scholarship opportunity specifically for veterans, Guard/Reserve members or active duty military service members who have demonstrated leadership and commitment in their community.

The Sanford Health Military and Veteran Scholarship honors those who have furthered their own progress and enriched the lives of others, especially in service, academics, and community involvement. Applications are due Aug. 31, 2021 and can be found at: https://SanfordHealthFound.smapply.io/prog/sanford_health_ military_and_veteran_scholarship_ .

The scholarships are administered by the Sanford Health Department of Veterans and Military Services and was created in 2018 as part of the health system’s efforts to serve veterans and military personnel through patient care, employment opportunities, and community outreach.
