UVA Health Auxiliary Awards $40,000 in Scholarships – UVA Health
The UVA Health Auxiliary awarded $40,000 in scholarships to 14 high school and college student volunteers pursuing careers in healthcare. The awards were presented during a ceremony held on June 24, at UVA Health Prince William Medical Center, recognizing the recipients for their academic achievement, volunteer service, and commitment to healthcare.
Scholarships ranged from $2,000 to $5,000, with two recipients earning special distinction through honorary awards named after long-serving Auxiliary leaders:
Both recipients of these top awards were also recognized as Extraordinary Teen Award honorees by Prince William Living magazine in 2024 and 2025 for their academic excellence, volunteerism, and leadership within the community.
“This scholarship program is a powerful reflection of our Auxiliary’s mission to support quality healthcare and inspire future professionals,” said April Beckner, manager of guest and volunteer services at UVA Health Culpeper, Haymarket, and Prince William Medical Centers. “We are proud to invest in students who have already shown compassion, leadership, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. We are dedicated to innovation and continuous growth and development of ourselves and those around us.”
Scholarship winners will attend the following respected institutions:
To be eligible, students must be active volunteers with UVA Health’s Auxiliary and Volunteer Services, have contributed at least 75 hours of service, and maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Applicants must also be accepted into or currently enrolled in an accredited healthcare program. A scholarship selection committee comprised of Auxiliary members and UVA Health team members carefully reviews all applications.
The Auxiliary’s scholarship program is part of a broader effort to strengthen the pipeline of future healthcare professionals while honoring the spirit of volunteerism. Many recipients go on to study nursing, medicine, allied health, and public health, and several past scholars have returned to UVA Health to begin their careers.
