Saint John’s Educational Awards

Saint John’s holds the importance of employee education in high regard. Three of the Foundation’s Endowed funds support the educational pursuits of our employees. The Scholarship Fund, The Lloyd Lewis Fellowship Fund and The Angela Titus Scholarship Fund For Dementia Education collectively provide scholarships to accredited higher education institutions and to certification and training programs in best practices in health care services.

 

Employee Scholarship Award Program

Since 1984, Saint John’s has offered financial support to student employees for their personal education costs. Our Scholarship Award Program provides qualified staff help in advancing their career path. Each award directly helps to offset the cost of tuition and books, as these individuals strive to balance academics, work and their personal lives.

Over the last 20 years, 183 Scholarships totaling $261,000 have been awarded by our Scholarship Committee to student employees meeting established criteria.

Your gifts to the Scholarship Endowment Fund make a profound difference in their ability to reach for their dreams, and we thank you with all our hearts.

"I wanted to thank you for letting me be a part of the Saint John’s Scholarship Award Program. By awarding me the Saint John’s Scholarship Award, you lightened my financial burden, which allowed me to focus on the most important aspect of school: learning. Your generosity helped me graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a degree in Information Science & Technology. I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me."
