BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Public Health Department was awarded grant funds from the Community Foundation designated for the Gaston County DHHS Fund Scholarship Program. The Scholarship Program was created as a way of promoting professional development and growth and to recruit and retain exceptional staff in DHHS. Awards will be given annually in three categories: Graduate/Undergraduate Degree, Associate/Technical/Certificate Degree, and Child of DHHS Employee Scholarship. Selection of the awards is based on applications submitted. Applications and selection of the award recipients are reviewed and discussed by a committee of community members and representatives. Six awards in the amount of $500 each will be given to the school where the recipients are attending. The award recipients are seeking degrees in Public Health or Social Services areas to improve the quality of life in Gaston County. These are non-County funds.
