T.J. Regional Health announces the winners of its 2023 Scholarship. The scholarship program is aimed at high school seniors who are planning to pursue a career in a healthcare related field. The scholarship was open to current high school seniors. Students who reside and attend any high school or homeschool in the T.J. Regional Health service area were encouraged to apply. Those counties included Adair, Allen, Barren,
Green, Hart, Metcalfe, Monroe and Russell.
Three local seniors were chosen to receive $2,000 in scholarship money. The students chosen were:
Lindsey Bandy is a Senior at Metcalfe County High School and will be attending Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, KY this fall to study Nursing. Lindsey became interested in pursuing a career in Nursing after experiencing the struggles family members went through with their health. Lindsey watched the nurses take care of her family to care for others and she finds the human body and its processes fascinating.
Briley Burns is a Senior at Adair County High School and will be attending Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, KY this fall. Post graduation, Briley anticipates attending graduate school to become a physical therapist. Briley has always had a desire to help others, and her experience as a volunteer at Camp TJ gave Briley the opportunity to experience the positive impact that physical therapy and rehab has on children.
Tate Sheffield is a Senior at Monroe County High School and will be attending the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY this fall to study Biology with a biochemistry minor. Tate's desire and passion to help others overcome personal obstacles prompted him to pursue a career as a psychiatrist after obtaining his undergraduate degree.
