Northwest Kidney Centers is a place where all can learn, grow and contribute, which is why we’re proud to have a robust employee scholarship program. This program operates thanks to generosity of Northwest Kidney Centers staff members and of individuals and foundations in our community. Special thanks to the Arlene G. “Pat” Farr Fund, the Boeschoten Foundation, and the Martha A. Jasper Memorial Scholarship Fund!
Since 2011, more than 50 staff members have received a combined total of more than $125,000 in tuition scholarships. We’re excited to announce that 12 employees received scholarships this year with most pursuing nursing.
Congratulations, 2021 Recipients!
