Upland Hills Health recently added $500 to the endowment used for the Diane Schaaf, R.N., Memorial Scholarship at Southwest Technical College. The endowment for the scholarship was established by Upland Hills Health last year, after the tragic death of Diane Schaaf, Home Care nurse at Upland Hills Health and wound care instructor at SWTC.

“Our goal is to continually grow the endowment each year to allow for more scholarships in the future,” explained Troy Marx, Human Resources Director at Upland Hills Health. Additional charitable contributions can be made to this fund by any person or group and the additional funds will be added to the principal of the endowment fund.

The scholarship is awarded annually in the amount of $500 to an Associate Degree Nursing student at Southwest Technical College. Upland Hills Health has a second scholarship established that is awarded yearly to a SWTC student as well.
