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.
This year’s recipient is Kevin Cole, a graduating senior from Anniston High School. Kevin will be attending Alabama State University in the Fall and plans on studying Sports Medicine or Kinesiology.
