The Lutheran Foundation Health Professions Scholarship Program

For more than 100 years, Lutheran congregations in northeast Indiana have worked to provide the region with well-trained health care professionals who are committed to a Christian mission of service. Funds were established to provide scholarships for students of nursing and other health-related careers. Today, The Lutheran Foundation is honoring the intent of the original donors while at the same time making new investments in scholarships for students who are preparing for careers in health care.
