Anderson County Hospital is pleased to announce the continuation of a nursing scholarship program for area residents. The C.A. Davis Nursing Scholarship was established in 1981 by the Anderson County Hospital Board of Trustees according to the will of C.A. Davis, who left money to the hospital specifically for the training of nurses.

Persons who are enrolled in an accredited nursing program and nurses who want to further their education are eligible to apply for the scholarship. Applicants must be residents of Anderson County, have parents who reside in Anderson County, or be an employee of Anderson County Hospital.

Applicants are required to complete the application form, write a short essay, and include two letters of recommendation. Personal interviews may also be scheduled with applicants. The Board of Trustees reviews all applications and selects the recipient(s). Scholarships are awarded annually, up to $2,000 per recipient.
