FOUNDATION NEWS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP Supports Health Care Students T he Florida College System Foundation, represented by Board Member Tim Morris, recently presented the PHSC Foundation with $32,108 recognizing the combined giving of Florida Blue, Helios, and Bank of America Foundation’s annual gifts to the Florida College System Foundation for student scholarship support. A segment of the funding is designated for students enrolled in the twenty-two various health care field related degree and certification tracks at PHSC. For the third year, the Hernando Healthcare Foundation joined the efforts of the Florida Blue Foundation and Florida College System Foundation to elevate funding as a matching grant partner. This collaboration provides more than $30,000 in scholarship awards benefitting 45 students enrolled in PHSC health care programs. Collectively, nearly 70 PHSC students will benefit from this generosity for the 2017-18 academic year.
