Triangle North Healthcare Foundation Announces Scholarships For Students Heading For Health-Care Related Fields

/by

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.

County Establishes Water Bill Forgiveness Program To Help Customers Complete Connection To County Water System

/by

— From the office of Vance County Manager C. Renee Perry

The Vance County Water District, in partnership with the Vance County Board of Commissioners, has announced a Water Bill Forgiveness Program designed to assist property owners with outstanding availability fees while encouraging connection to the County’s water system.

This limited-time amnesty program is specifically targeted toward property owners who previously signed up for water service but never completed connection to the system and have since accumulated outstanding balances.

The offer is good through March 31, 2027. Under the program, eligible participants may receive 75 percent forgiveness of their outstanding availability balance in exchange for connecting to the county water system. Currently, unconnected properties are assessed a monthly $30 base availability fee. By participating in the program and completing the connection, customers will not only significantly reduce their outstanding balance but also gain access to the full benefits of reliable public water service.

“This program reflects the County’s commitment to supporting our residents while also strengthening our water infrastructure,” said County Manager C. Renee Perry. “We encourage eligible property owners to take advantage of this opportunity to reduce outstanding balances and secure reliable water service for their homes.”

There are several requirements that must be satisfied to take advantage of the forgiveness program, besides having a property with an outstanding balance and a promise from the customer to connect to the Vance County water system.

Customers also must submit a formal letter of request to participate in the program, and the account must remain in good standing for a period of 12 months following connection, according to information from the county.

Eligible customers should contact the county’s water system operator, Envirolink, to begin the process and receive additional guidance on submitting the required requests.
