2016 Alliance Scholarships
The St. Johns County Medical Alliance has awarded academic
scholarships to St. Johns County high school graduates pursuing their education
in a medical related field of study.
Every year, the St. Johns County Medical Alliance, in conjunction
with the St. Johns County Medical Society, offers academic scholarships to
graduating St. Johns County high school seniors pursuing an education in
pre-medicine, nursing, or allied health. Scholarship applicants are evaluated
on academic ability, school involvement, financial need and community service.
The Alliance offers continued support for previously awarded
scholars that continue their studies in a medical field, maintain at least a
3.0 GPA and keep in contact with the Alliance. Matthew Guthrie, a former
award winner, will receive funding for continuation of his studies at the
University of Florida (not pictured).
This year’s awards have been presented to: Jensen Thompson of
Bartram Trail High School, who will attend the University of Florida to study
Biology on a pre-med tract to follow her interests in pediatric cardiology and
Cynthia Hund of St. Joseph Academy, who plans to pursue a pre-med major in
Biology at Clemson University.
The St. Johns County Medical Alliance is comprised of spouses of
St. Johns County physicians. Its purpose is to promote health education,
identify and address health-care needs and issues, participate in
health-related legislation, and provide college scholarships to St. Johns
County students. For more information about the Medical Alliance, go to www.sjcma.blogspot.com.
