Ginger Everson Memorial Scholarship
The scholarship is named after Virginia “Ginger” Everson, a Whitehall High School student who died in a car accident in 1973. She had been accepted into the nursing program at Viterbo College in La Crosse, Wis.
Everson’s family established the scholarship in her honor and has awarded scholarships for nearly four decades. The Tri-County Memorial Foundation oversees the scholarship with continuing family input.
The $1,000 scholarship is open to graduating seniors and residents of the Blair-Taylor, Independence and Whitehall school districts who wish to purse any healthcare-related career.
Lisa Rostvold Memorial Scholarship
The Lisa Rostvold scholarship memorializes the Taylor, Wis., resident, who was killed in a car accident near Taylor in December 2003.
At the time, Rostvold was a certified nursing assistant at Tri-County Memorial Nursing Home in Whitehall. She was attending Chippewa Valley Technical College to become a licensed practical nurse.
The annual scholarship awards $1,200 for two- or four-year nursing training. The scholarship is open to students from the Blair-Taylor, Eleva-Strum, Independence and Whitehall school districts.
Community Investment Healthcare scholarships
In autumn 2010, The Tri-County Memorial Foundation announced the creation of three Community Investment Health Scholarships.
The $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to one recipient in the Blair-Taylor, Independence and Whitehall school districts. Like the Ginger Everson scholarship, applicants can be pursuing any healthcare-related field.
