The DMC Service League is inviting West Contra Costa students to apply for the Carol Welsh Memorial Scholarship for students pursuing a health-related career. The DMC Service League is currently accepting applications for its Carol Welsh Memorial Scholarships. Up to seven $1,000 scholarships will be provided in 2010.

Since 1958, the DMC Service League has been providing financial assistance to students pursuing higher education leading to careers in a field related to healthcare, including nursing and medicine. Applicants are required to be from West Contra Costa County and must have completed the first year of a healthcare program at any accredited university or college; or be an incoming or current nursing or medical student.

"By supporting students who are pursuing careers in healthcare we are supporting the future doctors, nurses and staff of our community hospital," said Pam Moreno, President of the DMC Service League. "The scholarships we award make a difference to students who receive them and to the community. They help scholars meet their academic goals and take their place in the community as tomorrow's healthcare leaders."
