The E.MAP/Conemaugh Foundation Critical Skills
Scholarship Endowment
E.MAP (The Employers Medical Access Partnership) and Conemaugh Health Foundation have teamed up to create an important scholarship endowment fund.
The purpose of the Fund is to provide $1,000 scholarships to worthy recipients who are pursuing careers in a medical profession. Our goal is to encourage area students to receive their medical educations locally and hopefully to serve as medical professionals within our community for years to come. The recipients will be determined by the Director of the Conemaugh School of Nursing and applied to a student in a critical skills curriculum.
E.MAP and the Conemaugh Health System have pledged $10,000 each and have agreed to contribute an additional $10,000 each in matching funds from other contributors within the community.
To date we have raised a total of $60,000 toward this worthy cause . Thanks to the generous contributions from the following organizations who have helped us reach this milestone:
- UPMC Health Plan
- The Cambria/Somerset Labor Management Committee (via proceeds from their annual charitable golf event)
- AmeriServ
- Benefits Network
