Health Care Scholarships
At CBC & WSU Tri-Cities
The Gift of Opportunity
Kadlec Foundation scholarships are designed to help students from our region pursue their dreams of having satisfying careers as health care professionals. Since many of these students plan to live and work in the region, our scholarship program also assists with recruitment and retention efforts to meet the growing need for these professionals.
Kadlec Foundation scholarships are awarded to future nurses and other health care professionals attending Washington State University Tri-Cities and Columbia Basin College.
Thanks to generous donors who are investing in the future of students and our region, Kadlec Foundation has awarded almost one million dollars in scholarships through the years. That's a remarkable amount that is making a difference every day in the lives of students, and also in the quality of health care in our region.

Changing Lives Through Education

Juggling school, work and family was a daunting challenge for Nathan Wallace as he pursued his RN-BSN. Having Kadlec Foundation come along beside him with scholarship assistance throughout his education played an important role in his success. “The scholarship allowed me to focus more of my efforts into school and work, and worry less about covering tuition,” he said. He now works in the Intensive Care Unit at Kadlec Regional Medical Center.
Kadlec Foundation has long recognized the importance of helping local students achieve their dreams of pursuing careers in the health care profession. Through the years, hundreds of students attending WSU Tri-Cities and CBC have received this important financial assistance. Many of these students plan to live and work in the region, which also assists with recruitment and retention efforts to meet our community’s growing need for these professionals.
