Triangle North Healthcare Foundation has established two scholarships – one for high school students heading to college and one for individuals already working in the health care field who are pursuing health-care degrees.
The Foundation is seeking students whose academic plans align with the TNHF mission – to encourage, support and invest in quality efforts that measurably improve health in the Triangle North region and a vision to live in a healthy community, according to information from TNHF Executive Director Paul Ross.
Each high school in the TNHF region, which includes Franklin, Granville, Vance and Warren counties, will select one student to nominate for the TNHF scholarship. From this pool of applicants, the Foundation’s Scholarship Committee will select one individual from each county to receive a $4,000 scholarship.
Preference will be given to students who plan to major in a health-related field. Scholarship applications must be submitted to the school counselors by May 1, 2026.
Requirements for the scholarship recipients include:
- A minimum unweighted GPA of 2.5.
- Plans to pursue a career in a health-related field matching the vision and mission of TNHF.
- Full time residence in Vance, Granville, Warren or Franklin County
- Documented acceptance into an accredited two-year or four-year college or university
- Copy of college acceptance letter required
Triangle North Healthcare Foundation’s Board of Directors also will award a $25,000 scholarship to an individual currently working in health care and currently enrolled in health degree programs for associate degrees or higher.
The recipient must meet the following requirements:
- Currently employed part time or full time in a health-related position
- Currently enrolled in a health-related degree program at an accredited college or university, pursuing an associate degree or higher
- Currently enrolled in the health-related degree program at an accredited school
- A minimum unweighted GPA of 2.5.
- Preference will be given to applicants living and working in Vance, Granville, Warren or Franklin counties
Applications are available online at http://www.tnhfoundation.org/ after April 1,2026.
Based in Henderson, Triangle North Healthcare Foundation is a regional healthcare foundation, which was established in November 2011 after Maria Parham Medical Center merged with the for-profit Duke LifePoint organization. The Foundation’s grants and scholarships are made possible by the endowment that was created from the assets of the former nonprofit hospital.
