LIBERTY, Mo., January 30, 2025 – The Liberty Hospital Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2025 High School Nursing Scholarship Program. This annual initiative awards five Northland high school seniors with $3,000 scholarships, providing financial assistance as they pursue a nursing degree in college.

The scholarships are part of the Foundation’s Professional Education Program, which aims to advance nursing excellence at Liberty Hospital and within the Northland community. By supporting both aspiring and current nurses, Liberty Hospital aims to attract and retain top nursing talent, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality healthcare.

High school seniors interested in applying can find scholarship guidelines and the application on the Liberty Hospital Foundation website under the “High School Nursing Scholarships” section. The application deadline is Friday, April 4, 2025.

“My experience with the Liberty Hospital Foundation Nursing Scholarship program will provide financial assistance as I pursue a nursing career at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. This monetary award will help me achieve my aspirations of earning my B.S.N and eventually becoming a nurse practitioner. The questions asked during my interview with the committee co-chairs gave me the opportunity to articulate why I wanted to be a nurse. When I attended the Nurse’s Week ceremony to accept my scholarship award, I was surrounded with many talented Liberty Hospital nurses. It is here where I saw that compassionate care is recognized and celebrated. Standing amongst these nurses was an honor. I hope to one day model this same level of exceptional patient care. In fact, I may be fortunate enough to start my career with one of these nurses as my mentor. I have had a positive experience with the scholarship program; the financial impact is significant but the connections that I’ve made are career-building. There is no doubt that this nursing scholarship program is an investment in the Liberty Hospital and its surrounding communities.”
