 Healthcare careers are some of the most crucial and in-demand careers in our nation. 

The Amarillo College - Moore County Campus RN program helps area students achieve their goals of becoming Registered Nurses without the stress of having to travel out of the county.  

It also provides new nurses the opportunity to develop their healthcare careers at organizations in their own community while remaining close to family and friends. 

The Frank Phillips College LVN program has jump started many nursing careers in the area by providing a 1-year Licensed Vocational Nurse program.  In 2019, the MCHF Board voted to include these LVN students in the scholarship program to make certain that more types  of nurses are available to serve the Moore County community & surrounding areas.   

In 2024, the MCHF Board voted to open the scholarship to Moore County students studying in other healthcare-related careers being offered at AC, Frank Phillips, and WTAMU.   These include therapy, lab, imaging, and surgical technician careers.   

The MCHF Scholarship Luncheon supports Moore County students in these programs by raising money for scholarships to not only help pay for their education, but to help them stay close to home while receiving their degrees.

The Scholarship Luncheon occurred on Thursday, May 23rd at 12:00pm at the community hall of the Saints Peter and Paul Church.  It was an intimate event with a catered lunch and a inspirational speaker honoring those in our community who have made a difference in the lives of area healthcare students.

Thanks to the support of the Moore County community, we met our goal for the event, and will be able to provide multiple healthcare scholarships to local students.
