ACRMC Auxiliary Opens Healthcare Scholarships for Adams, Brown County Students and Employees

Bill Jones, chairperson of the ACRMC Auxiliary, announced in a news release posted March 4, 2026 that scholarship applications are available to support people beginning or furthering their education in healthcare. The release names the ACRMC Reception Desk in the ACRMC Main Lobby and all local high schools, including vocational and technical schools’ guidance counselors, as pick-up locations for application packets.

The release and ACRMC’s own website differ on who is eligible. A news release states, "ACRMC Auxiliary scholarship applications are available for Adams or Brown County graduating high school seniors or ACRMC employees who are beginning or furthering their education in healthcare." The ACRMC website instead describes the awards as available to "Adams County residents or ACRMC employees who are beginning or furthering their education in healthcare" and adds the scholarship "is available for individuals of all ages, those just completing high school, those who are interested in entering the healthcare field or those in healthcare."

Application and timeline details are consistent across ACRMC channels. Applications are due by April 1, 2026, and "Scholarships will be announced by May 6, 2026." Community members seeking clarification or additional information may contact Bill Jones, Chairperson, at (937) 205-2682 as listed in the announcement.

The ACRMC website provides local context from last year’s awards, noting the Auxiliary "is proud to announce the recipients of the 2024 ACRMC Auxiliary Scholarships" and naming Emma Griffin, a freshman at the University of Cincinnati Clermont, as one of three 2024 recipients. The 2026 announcement does not specify how many scholarships will be awarded this cycle or the dollar amounts for individual awards.

The March 4 release and the website excerpt do not list required application materials, selection criteria, whether ACRMC employees must meet a minimum length of service, or whether applications can be submitted online. Those details were not included in the posted materials; applicants and guidance offices in Adams and Brown counties are advised to pick up packets at the ACRMC Reception Desk or contact Bill Jones at (937) 205-2682 for full application instructions ahead of the April 1 deadline. Recipients are expected to be announced by May 6, 2026.
