The Joseph E. Enright Foundation is
pleased to offer scholarships for education in the field
of healthcare. There are at least five scholarships
that will be awarded twice a year, as determined by the
Foundation’s annual budget, to applicants chosen by the
Board of Trustees of the Foundation. The scholarships are
awarded to eligible students based primarily on the strength
of the essay portion of the application, but the entire
application is taken into consideration during the review
process.
Eligibility
Anyone who resides in the communities
served by the Enright Foundation is eligible to apply for a
scholarship. (Individuals who have been awarded a scholarship
are not permitted to apply for a second scholarship.) The
applicant must be at least 17 years of age. The scholarship
funds are to be applied only to education in the field of
healthcare. (See below)
Award
Beginning with the June 2007 review,
the amount of the scholarships is $1000. The number of
scholarships to be awarded is subject to change at the
discretion of the Board of Trustees. The awards are to be
applied to pre-approved costs only. No scholarships will be
given for courses that have been completed or are in progress
at the time of application. The award must be used within 1
year from the date of notification.
Application
The application must be printed and
filled out completely or it will not be considered. The applicant

Timing and Selection
Applications may be submitted at any time during the year but
not more than 6 months before the beginning of the course or program. They will be
reviewed by the Board of Trustees twice a year - in June and December - and applicants
will be notified in writing of the decision of the Board. The scholarships are awarded
based on the information provided in the application however, the essay section weighs
heavily in the selection process. Please be sure to be complete and to fill out the
entire application. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Deadlines for
applications are June 30th and December 31st. Applications postmarked after
these dates will be considered for the next review.
Eligible Programs
The scholarship money can be applied only to tuition costs
associated with participation in a program of study in the healthcare field.
The program or course must be at an accredited institution or facility. The
studies must be done in the course of working toward a certificate or degree
awarded by that institution or facility.
The final certificate or degree must be directly related
to healthcare (i.e. radiology technician and nursing programs are eligible but
pre-med programs or hospital administration studies are not). Short courses for
renewable certificates such as ACLS or Basic CPR, continuing medical education
and review courses are not covered. The board reserves the right to exclude any
program or course from eligibility at its discretion.
Upon completion of the field of study, recipient
must present to the Foundation evidence of satisfactory completion of the
coursework covered by the scholarship funds. Scholarship recipients acknowledge
that failure to submit such evidence will result in forfeiture of all scholarship
funds and all funds received will be expected to be returned to the Foundation.
Miscellaneous
There is no preference given to any applicant on the basis
of gender, race, class, economic status, ethnic background, sexual orientation,
age, physical ability and cultural or religious background. Enright Foundation
employees, Board of Trustees members and their families are ineligible.
There are limited resources with which to fund the
scholarships and while it is the intention of the Foundation to provide as
many as possible, not all applicants can be awarded a scholarship. If you
are turned down for a scholarship, please understand these constraints and
feel free to apply again.
Any questions can be directed to any of our board
members or call or email us - we're happy to help!
