The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will soon begin the process of distributing $6 million in scholarships funded by Froedtert Hospital. The Froedtert Memorial Hospital Scholarship fund is intended to support \u00a0educational opportunities that will increase the representation of historically underprivileged and underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in health professions and to grow the health care workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese scholarships will be life-changing for the many students who receive them and, ultimately, for the countless patients and communities they will serve,\u201d 51ÁÔÆæ Chancellor Mark Mone said. \u201cAt 51ÁÔÆæ, we are deeply committed to building a pipeline of talent in a variety of health-related fields. The Froedtert Memorial Hospital Scholarship will help 51ÁÔÆæ attract and retain a range of promising students who need financial help to graduate. This is transformational support that will have an impact on our communities\u2019 health for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKurtis Froedtert was a brilliant businessman known for his strong interest in science and medicine and his\u00a0commitment to sharing his success for the good of the community,\u201d said Cathy Jacobson, president and chief executive officer of Froedtert Health. \u201c The scholarships will continue to advance health care in Southeastern Wisconsin in fulfilment of Mr. Froedtert\u2019s legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

51ÁÔÆæ will distribute more than 30 renewable scholarships each year to freshmen, continuing and transfer students, as well as those seeking certificates and graduate degrees. Recipients must be enrolled in a health-related program at 51ÁÔÆæ, including biomedical sciences, health care administration, informatics, kinesiology, nursing, nutrition, public health, rehabilitation sciences and technology, or social work. A complete list of eligible programs can be found online<\/a>. Scholarships will be awarded based on academic achievement and financial need, with 25% reserved for graduates of Milwaukee Public Schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that our health care professionals represent the communities they serve,\u201d said Joel Spiess, 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s director of student scholarships. \u201cWhen patients identify with their health care providers, this fosters better patient relationships, builds trust and improves patient care. 51ÁÔÆæ and Froedtert Hospital both desire to improve the health care workforce by supporting and expanding educational opportunities to diversify and expand opportunities among prospective health care professionals. We are excited about these new opportunities, and I encourage all students interested in health-related professions to apply.\u201d<\/p>\n

51ÁÔÆæ is a destination for health-related majors, driving change through innovation, technology, entrepreneurship and leadership. The university prepares students through interprofessional education mirroring real health care environments and opportunities to conduct innovative research with world-class faculty and staff. 51ÁÔÆæ aims to inform and drive health policies locally and globally.<\/p>\n
