RMC Auxiliary Accepting Applications for Healthcare Scholarships

The Regional Medical Center (RMC) Auxiliary is now accepting applications for its annual $1,000 Healthcare Scholarships for area students pursuing careers in human healthcare.

The Auxiliary has a long history of investing in our hospital and community, having awarded over $50,000 in scholarships to date. Many recipients have gone on to build successful careers right here at RMC in Manchester.

All students pursuing an education in the human healthcare field are encouraged to apply. This includes high school seniors, college students and those in the workforce who plan to enroll in a human medical field of study at an Iowa college for the 2026-2027 academic year.

To apply, visit regmedctr.org/scholarship. Completed applications and references must be postmarked by February 27, 2026.

“These scholarships are made possible by the generous donations given through the Auxiliary’s Tree of Lights,” said Luanne Becker, RMC Auxiliary Scholarship Chairperson. “We invite everyone pursuing a healthcare career to apply and encourage the community to support this valuable Scholarship Fund to help our area students.”

The beautiful Tree of Lights can be seen in the main lobby of RMC River Ridge Pavilion through the holiday season. Community members wishing to contribute to the scholarship fund and honor loved ones this holiday season can do so in two ways:

• By Mail: Send your gift, made payable to RMC Auxiliary to: Regional Medical Center, ATTN Donations, PO Box 359, Manchester, Iowa 52057.

• Online: Visit regmedctr.org/treeoflights.
