Yale engineering and science scholarship for employees’ children
YNHH employees whose children or grandchildren are interested in applying as an undergraduate at Yale University, or who are already enrolled at Yale, will soon be able to apply for a fulltuition scholarship, thanks to the generosity of Betty Ruth and Milton B. Hollander.
Dr. Hollander has established the Betty Ruth Hollander Engineering and Science Scholarship to support YNHH employees whose children or grandchildren are committed to pursuing a bachelor's degree in engineering or science at Yale College. The late Mrs. Hollander was a longtime member of the YNHH Board of Trustees.
All active YNHH full-time or part-time (24 hours/week) employees may apply for the scholarship during April. Their student must have successfully completed high school, including at least two years in a public U.S. high school, and have been admitted to Yale. The scholarship, which will in the fall semester 2012.
"Dr. and Mrs. Hollander's affection for both Yale-New-Haven and Yale led to this wonderful opportunity for the children of hospital employees," said Kevin Myatt, senior vice president, Human Resources.
"What an incredible benefit for an employee whose student might be able to attend Yale on a scholarship that is renewable for up to four years."
The scholarship and application process will be managed by a hospital review committee; applications will be accepted between April 1 and 30 each year. If no candidate is selected from YNHH, Yale would then select from among other students who have been accepted to Yale and plan on majoring in engineering or science.
More information and the application form will be posted on the YNHH Intranet, or employees can email engineeringscholarship@ynhh.org.
IN THE PHOTO: Each April, YNHH hosts almost 200 children of employees at Take Your Child to Work Day. Employees whet the students' appetites for future careers in science by hosting visits to Laboratory Medicine, operating rooms and Respiratory Care. Three employees' children who may one day be candidates for a Hollander scholarship to Yale were fascinated by algae growing in Petri dishes when they visited Laboratory Medicine.
