Scholarships

Sanken-Hatz scholar Jeni Vasko of Lester Prairie is studying to become a doctor.

Is there a Sanken-Hatz scholarship in your future?

The Sanken-Hatz scholarship (formerly the Carl Sanken Scholarship) is awarded annually to encourage and support students pursuing health care careers. It was established in memory of Carl Sanken, a farmer from the Biscay area, and Don Hatz, a farmer and postal clerk from the Glencoe area. Both remembered us in their wills with generous bequests to the Glencoe Regional Health Services Foundation.

Awards for the 2013-2014 academic (collegiate) year will be made in the spring of 2013 to qualified area high-school seniors and post-secondary students from the GRHS service area who are enrolled in approved health care careers.
