As a part of its mission, EHC wants to encourage qualified candidates who want to pursue careers in health care to do so. EHC realizes that the costs of college can present an obstacle for otherwise qualified candidates and therefore has established a scholarship program to recognize and support these students. EHC hopes that some, if not all, of these students, upon graduation, will provide services to people in need who live in the EHC Service Area.
