Fulton, NY – County residents pursuing a career in the health care field may be able to receive some extra financial aid courtesy of the Rural Health Network of Oswego County.

“One of the goals of the Rural Health Network is to improve the access to and delivery of health care in Oswego County. We have established this scholarship program as a way to encourage individuals to pursue a rewarding career in the health care field. There is a growing need for people in almost all areas of health care.

The Rural Health Network of Oswego County will be awarding five scholarships in the amount of $500 to qualified individuals of any age that are either entering a program or continuing their education, at any level, in the health care field. Applications are available at the Rural Health Network pages on the OCO website at www.oco.org.
