Templin Scholarship Fund for Nursing
The demand for nurses is high everywhere. It is easy to find meaningful, challenging and rewarding jobs. Nursing is both an art and a science. It blends a scientific mind, technological know-how and a compassionate heart.
Most often it's money that brings about the change of plans. But money should never be a deterrent for anyone seeking a career in nursing.
Thanks to the Daisy Templin and Roger P. Templin Scholarship Fund at Alton Memorial Hospital, anyone in the River Bend area -- young or old, man or woman -- can receive assistance with a nursing career.
To apply for the Templin scholarship, the applicant must be accepted by an approved school and submit an application. Scholarships are awarded and considered for renewal annually. For an application, or more information, call Alton Memorial Hospital's Nursing Office at 618.463.7345.
Foundation Facts
Although the foundation supports the hospital, it is an independent organization with a separate board of directors that determines the allocation of funds. The foundation is a tax-exempt corporation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since 1990, the Foundation has committed more than $10 million to the hospital for construction and renovation projects, new medical technology, education and training, and health improvement programs for the community.
