In an effort to assist all allied health and medical students interested in applying for this year's CalvertHealth Foundation scholarship programs, the deadline to submit completed scholarship packages has been extended to May 31. Application requirements remain the same and applicants are asked to contact the foundation directly with questions about the application or requirements.

The CalvertHealth Foundation Scholarship Fund is offering tuition assistance to students who are pursuing higher education in medicine or allied health fields. Since its inception, the scholarship fund has awarded more than 450 scholarships totaling more than $575,000 to area students.

In order to be eligible for the Allied Health Scholarship, funded by a generous endowment from Calvert Arundel Medical Facilities, Inc., applicants must be accepted into an accredited school of nursing or other allied health curriculum.

The E. Anne Spitzer, MD Memorial Scholarship was created in 1988 to encourage Calvert County students seeking careers in the medical field in honor of Dr. Spitzer. Funded by Dr. Spitzer’s friends, family and the Calvert County Medical Society, the E. Anne Spitzer, MD Memorial Scholarship is open to students who graduated from a Calvert County High School and are pursuing a career in medicine. Students must be admitted to an accredited medical school at the time of application with a minimum GPA of 2.5.
