Lowell C. Kruse Scholarship Open

Mosaic Life Care Foundation is now accepting applications for the Lowell C. Kruse Healthy Choices. Healthy Lives. Scholarship.

This $10,000 scholarship provides financial assistance to a first-year, full-time graduate student studying in areas leading to improved quality of life for the residents of the Mosaic Life Care service region. This includes careers in health care administration, early childhood development, not-for-profit management and educational leadership.

The deadline to apply for the scholarship is June 15, 2022.

Katherine Talbot, a 2021 recipient of the scholarship, said the scholarships not only allow students to earn a degree, but also give back to their organization by providing an opportunity for students to apply for higher-level positions.

“We are able to not only go back to school without the financial burden, but we can also give back to the organization as well,” Talbot said.
