CareStar Awards Scholarships to Nursing Students!

By Thomas Gruber, President

Annually since 1993, CareStar has awarded scholarships to nursing students through the Josephine Walters Scholarship Fund. The fund, named in memory of CareStar President Tom Gruber's grandmother,  was established  to enable CareStar and its employees to give back to the communities that support CareStar’s operations . Annually, these scholarships provide students with financial support to enable them to continue their education and provide our communities with skilled nurses.

CareStar awards scholarships to students at Aultman College of Nursing and Health Sciences in Canton, OH, Mt Carmel College of Nursing in Columbus, Ohio and Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Health Science in Cincinnati, OH. The scholarships are designed to assist worthy students in financial need to complete their nursing education.

This year, CareStar awarded seven scholarships totaling $22,500 to students at these schools. "It is an honor and privilege to assist these students who are dedicated to making our communities better places" said CareStar President Tom Gruber.

The students who are awarded the  Josephine Walters Scholarship are among the future healthcare leaders of America.  CareStar  is proud to assist these individuals in meeting their goals while honoring the dedication and example of Josephine Walters.  Our congratulations to the 2011 scholarship winners!
