The West Virginia Association of Orthopedic Executives (WVAOE) established the Joshua Tuck Scholarship in 2018 to help support a student studying healthcare management. We’re asking that you share this information with incoming students majoring in healthcare administration or healthcare management.
At the time of his death in 2017, Josh was the practice manager for the Charleston Area Medical Center Department of Orthopedic Surgery; in addition, he was vice president of WVAOE. The Joshua Tuck Scholarship has been created specifically to reward the outstanding scholastic achievements of high school seniors who plan to enter the healthcare management field. Complete eligibility rules and forms can be found on the “WVAOE Members” tab at www.wvos.org. Applicants (1) must be West Virginia high school seniors; (2) must enroll in Bluefield State College, Fairmont State University, Marshall University or WVU Tech; (3) major in a healthcare management program; and (4) submit a 450-500 word essay answering the question: “Describe your community’s issues with opioids and explain how you would reduce the problem.” You may access the application at wvos.org/wvaoe-josh-tuck-memorial-scholarship/. WVAOE will accept applications and accompanying essays postmarked between February 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022. From all the applications received, the WVAOE Board of Directors will select a single one-time only $1,500 scholarship recipient in April 2022. The winner will be announced at their high school awards assembly or commencement program, or by a COVID-19 appropriate method. Comments are closed.
