Scholarship Name: Honey Lake Hospice Scholarship in Memory of Marge Dunlavy
Agency: Honey Lake Hospice
Description:

Each year we sponsor a deserving student by awarding a monetary scholarship. This student must be able to describe his or her interest in a field related to Hospice and Palliative Care. 

Hospice is a program of flexible services that provides compassionate care wherever a terminally ill patient chooses to live. Hospice affirms life but regards dying as part of the normal process. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. With hospice, family members are directly involved in making decisions and in helping the person they love. It provides many benefits that are not possible in a traditional healthcare setting. In most cases, hospice care enables people to die at home, in comfort and surrounded by the people they love.

Qualifications:

The applicant must be a resident of Northern California (Sacramento and above), or be a student at a Northern California or Reno, NV college, having successfully completed his/her first semester of college with a minimum GPA of 2.5 and who will be continuing her/his education in the field of nursing, medicine or related health care at an accredited 2 year or 4 year College or University.

The applicant should have an interest in gerontology, oncology and/or hospice and palliative care and be able to express that interest in an essay.
