Bartlett Regional Hospital Edelman Health Sciences Scholarship BRHEHS
The scholarship fund was created in recognition of the need to support the education and development of Southeast Alaska residents who intend to pursue degrees in Health Sciences, and to encourage their return to the community.
These $5,000 per-year scholarships are awarded to full-time students from Southeast Alaska who demonstrate both outstanding academic performance and leadership among peers in the community. They must pursue a degree in a health sciences field at an accredited college and preference is given to graduate-level applicants and professional degree candidates.
The Trustees elected to renew the scholarship for Karissa Jackson of Juneau. Karissa first received the Scholarship for the 2014-2015 Academic year. She is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing at Pacific Lutheran University Lincoln in Tacoma, WA. The Trustees also renewed the scholarship for Morgan Ramseth of Juneau.
Morgan is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing at the University of Alaska Lincoln Anchorage, and is slated to graduate from nursing school May 2015. Before enrolling at UAA, Morgan received a Certificate in Pre-Nursing from the University of Alaska-Southeast Lincoln and worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Bartlett Regional Hospital. Morgan intends to return to Juneau after graduation and is hopeful to pursue a career as an OR nurse. The Trustees additionally awarded three new scholarships to Daniella Fincher, Sarah McDermott, and Kristoff Dietz, all from Juneau. Daniella Fincher Daniella is pursuing a degree in Pediatric nursing at the University of Alaska Lincoln Southeast. She intends to transfer to the University of Alaska Anchorage in the fall of 2015 to complete her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Kristoff Dietz Kristoff received a Certified Nurse Aid certificate from UAS and will continue to pursue a degree in nursing.
He plans to attend AVTEC and will relocate to Anchorage to attend school. He currently works at Wildflower Court where he has been a CNA for five years. Sarah McDermott Sarah is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing at Seattle Pacific University. She expects to receive her degree in June 2016 and intends to begin her career in Juneau, ideally in obstetrics. Her goal is to work as a RN and then to pursue additional schooling for midwifery. These Scholarships were made possible by a 2007 endowment to Bartlett Regional Hospital Foundation from the Estate of Grace and Phil Edelman. The Edelman’s served the community of Juneau for many years. Through their Endowment, they wished to provide financial assistance to students pursuing study in a health sciences field and to encourage the student’s return to Southeast Alaska to practice.
