Important Scholarship Announcement
After providing $4,000,000 of health career scholarships and 58 years of encouraging and supporting healthcare education in the Roanoke area, Health Focus of Southwest Virginia has decided to donate our scholarship endowment funds to the Carilion Clinic Foundation. Therefore, future scholarship awards will be issued by the Carilion Clinic Foundation.
We will continue to process applications through the same website, https://hfscholarships.azurewebsites.net, for the 2023-2024 academic year. We will keep you informed of any additional changes.
It has been our pleasure to provide financial assistance to thousands of bright, compassionate students eager to care for patients needing their help.
On behalf of the Health Focus of Southwest Virginia Board of Directors and Staff, we wish you a very successful healthcare career!
