CMC Foundation Healthcare Scholarships:
No matter what shape health care takes in the future, there will always be a need for people who provide skilled and compassionate care. CMC Foundation and our scholarship donors are dedicated to helping the students of today who will be the caring health professionals of tomorrow. Each year we award scholarships of $500-$1000 to Missoula County high school students and Community employees interested in healthcare careers. Since our Healthcare Scholarship program began in 1990, we've awarded more than 376 scholarships for a total of $204,500.
