FROEDTERT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Froedtert Memorial Hospital Scholarship is a new scholarship that provides MATC Healthcare Pathway students with help in covering costs necessary to complete their degree including tuition, required books and supplies, and licensure exams. This scholarship — which also includes a stipend, an incentive to keep progressing toward your degree, and access to emergency grant funding — is designed to help remove financial barriers to assist students in completing their degrees and enter the healthcare field. This scholarship is available to MATC Healthcare Pathway students pursuing an associate degree who have successfully petitioned in their program of study. Scholarships are limited in number based on available funds.
