The Froedtert Memorial Hospital Scholarship provides MATC Healthcare Pathway students with help in covering costs necessary to complete their degree including tuition, required books and supplies, and licensure exams. This scholarship — which also includes a stipend, an incentive to keep progressing toward your degree, and access to emergency grant funding — is designed to help remove financial barriers to assist students in completing their degrees and enter the healthcare field.
