The Martha Vandervoort Memorial Scholarship supports students who have a passion for helping others, experience serving their communities, and can demonstrate an expansive view of what’s possible through healthcare.
The Martha Vandervoort Memorial Scholarship was established in 2016 to invest in students who have made an impact in their community through leadership and community service. The purpose of this scholarship is to recognize future healthcare workers who reflect the legacy of Martha’s servant heart and benevolent character. The scholarship is valued at $3,000 per year and is renewable for four years for a total value of $12,000 towards the four-year college or university of the recipients’ choosing.
Recipients of the scholarship are chosen through an application and interview process with a selection committee. To be eligible for the scholarship, students must have a minimum 3.0 GPA, going into a healthcare-related program of study and reflect the embodiment of community service and charity.
We are proud to announce Aiden Lloyd as the recipient of the 2026 Martha Vandervoort Scholarship. A senior at Pleasant Valley High School, Aiden embodies the spirit of this award, proving that hard work and a heart for community can take you anywhere.
At 13, Aiden started his own lawn care and pressure washing business. That drive and spirit of service only grew from there. He will graduate with his NREMT certification and over 32 college credit hours, all while competing in FFA, leading on the wrestling mat, and volunteering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace for five consecutive years.
This fall, Aiden heads to Jacksonville State University with a clear goal: to work as an EMT while earning his nursing degree. His dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of others is guaranteed to make a lasting impact in the healthcare field and beyond.
