Adams County Medical Foundation Awards $14,000 in Scholarships for 2024
On April 5, the Adams County Medical Foundation held its annual Scholarship Awards Program, celebrating our 2024 scholarship recipients and honoring our generous donors. This year, the Foundation proudly awarded $14,000 in scholarships to outstanding students pursuing careers in healthcare.
Scholarships and Recipients
Each scholarship, except for the prestigious Esther Moore Chandler Scholarship, provided $1,000 to the recipients. The Esther Moore Chandler Scholarship, valued at $5,000, was awarded to McKenzie Kirker. This scholarship has supported McKenzie for the past three years as she completes her Master's Degree. Unlike a one-time gift, the Chandler Scholarship is designed to aid a student throughout their college journey.
