Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Southwest Scholarship Program
The Board of Directors of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of the Southwest knows that the serious illness of a child can have a significant impact on the entire family – not only is there the physical aspect of an illness, but there is also an emotional and financial impact that cannot be overlooked. In keeping with the other programs of RMHC of the Southwest, our scholarship program now embraces our mission of offering care and support to ill or injured children and their families.
The scholarship program of RMHC of the Southwest is patterned after the “RMHC Scholars” program – with one important difference. In order to more closely align the scholarship program with our local Chapter’s exclusive focus on children’s health, we have added an additional criteria item which is as follows:
RMHC of the Southwest’s scholarships will be awarded to applicants who have either:
A. had a serious childhood illness or injury
OR
B. had a sibling who had a serious childhood illness or injury which impacted the family
