Paul Tejada Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund
The Paul Tejada Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Paul Tejada, former President of W.A. Foote Memorial Hospital. Paul was a first-generation college student that overcame many obstacles in his life, realizing that education created a foundation for his success. Recognizing that the local community provided so much for him; the scholarship aims to give back to the students of Jackson County. This scholarship supports a student from Jackson County looking to further their education in health services administration, nursing, bio-engineering, or human medicine.
