The Friends of Wellington Regional Medical Center Auxiliary, Inc. along with the medical staff at Wellington Regional, proudly presented $13,000 in college scholarships to thirteen high school seniors to pursue programs of study that will prepare them to become physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists and medical researchers. Each of the students received $1,000.00 Camilla Combs Memorial Scholarship Award to be used toward their college education.
The top thirteen ranked students selected represent four Palm Beach County High Schools: John I. Leonard High School, Wellington High School, Park Vista High School and Suncoast High School. Criteria for scholarship selection included academic achievement, extra-curricular activities, community service, financial need, character, motivation and goals.
Scholarships are funded through year round Auxiliary fundraisers and Gift Shop sales, as well as through the support and generosity of Wellington Regional’s Medical Staff. The friends of WRMC Auxiliary are pleased to continue the tradition of honoring the achievements of young Scholars in the communities it serves.” stated Nancy Tuccinardi, President of The Friends of Wellington Regional Medical Center Auxiliary, Inc.
