St. Anthony Foundation is committed to strengthening the future of health care through education, professional development, and leadership growth. Through our scholarship and grant opportunities, we support individuals pursuing clinical careers, medical practice, and in leadership roles.
By investing in future health care professionals and leaders, we help ensure continued access to high-quality care for the communities we serve.
The Foundation endeavors to support students pursuing degrees in healthcare to support St. Anthony’s mission of providing quality, faith-based healthcare to our communities. The scholarships are funded in part through the Foundation’s investments, and also through the investments of donors and families committed to St. Anthony and the state of local healthcare.
“We are proud to support students pursuing careers in healthcare, with the hope that they will return to St. Anthony to practice and build long-term careers here,” said Sarah Foley, St. Anthony Foundation Director. “These scholarships have a profound impact, creating a legacy of care. Over the decades, we’ve seen recipients graduate, come back to work at St. Anthony, and even have their children apply for scholarships. It’s truly inspiring.”
In 2025, the St. Anthony Foundation awarded 40 scholarships to high school seniors and college students. In 2026, the Foundation anticipates being able to offer additional scholarships, thanks to the generosity of several families and donors who continue to support the Foundation’s scholarship efforts.
