South County Health recently announced the recipients of its two annual scholarship programs – the Conrad-Nestor-Walsh Scholarship and the Medical Staff Scholarship – continuing a long-standing tradition of helping high school graduates pursue their passions in higher education.

The Medical Staff Scholarships are awarded to local students interested in medical careers. Nominated by high school guidance counselors, recipients are chosen based on academic achievement and financial need.

The Conrad-Nestor-Walsh Scholarships are awarded to children, grandchildren, or dependents of South County Health employees and volunteers who also demonstrate academic excellence and financial need.
