EDUCATIONAL AWARDS
Saint John’s holds employee education in high regard. Three of the Foundation’s Endowed funds support the educational pursuits of our employees. The Scholarship Fund, The Lloyd Lewis Fellowship Fund and The Angela Titus Fund for Education Related to Cognitive Loss collectively provide scholarships to accredited higher education institutions and support certification and training programs in best practices in health care services.
EMPLOYEE SCHOLARSHIP AWARD PROGRAM
Since 1984, Saint John’s has offered financial support to student employees for their personal education costs. Our Scholarship Award Program provides qualified staff help in advancing their career path. Each award directly helps to offset the cost of tuition and books, as these individuals strive to balance academics, work and their personal lives.
Over the last 22 academic years, 202 scholarships totaling $283,655 have been awarded to student employees meeting established criteria.
EDUCATION ENDOWMENT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Residents and staff gather annually to celebrate the Education Awards recognizing distributions from all three Foundation Funds supporting employee education: Scholarship Fund, Lloyd Lewis Fellowship Fund and Angela Titus Scholarship Fund for Dementia Education. The blessing of these funds provides support for certifications and advanced education and training in clinical best practices for the nursing team.
In 2025, the 41st Annual Scholarship Awards recognized the academic efforts of sixteen Saint John’s employees who were granted tuition assistance to earn future degrees and certifications. We applaud the many dreams and ambitions of our student employees and wish them every success on their academic journey.
