St. Anthony Foundation Healthcare Scholarships

St. Anthony Foundation and St. Anthony Regional Hospital are excited to announce that applications are now open for the healthcare scholarships offered through St. Anthony Foundation for spring of 2025. The Foundation endeavors to support students pursuing degrees in healthcare to support St. Anthony’s mission of providing quality, faith-based healthcare to our communities. The scholarships are funded in part through the Foundation’s investments, and also through the investments of donors and families committed to St. Anthony and the state of local healthcare.

“We are proud to support students pursuing careers in healthcare, with the hope that they will return to St. Anthony to practice and build long-term careers here,” said Sarah Foley, St. Anthony Foundation Director. “These scholarships have a profound impact, creating a legacy of care. Over the decades, we’ve seen recipients graduate, come back to work at St. Anthony, and even have their children apply for scholarships. It’s truly inspiring.”

*The deadline for the 2025 Scholarship Cycle was March 28, 2025. Please check back in early 2026 for the next opportunity to apply for a scholarship.

In 2024, the St. Anthony Foundation awarded 41 scholarships to local students. In 2025, the Foundation anticipates being able to offer additional scholarships, thanks to the generosity of several families and donors who continue to support the Foundation’s scholarship efforts.

  • Students only need to fill out one application to be considered for any of the scholarships. 
  • All scholarships are open to seniors in high school and all college students, provided they will be attending school through and into the spring semester of the following year (or later).
  • The deadline for submission for 2026 will be posted at the beginning of 2026.
