KHS established two new scholarship funds at California State University, Bakersfield, one for nursing majors and the other for students pursuing a Master of Social Work (MSW). These scholarships aim to help students complete their degrees and enter the local health care workforce. The Kern Family Health Care Nursing Annual Scholarship Fund will provide scholarships to four CSUB nursing students each academic year, while the MSW Annual Scholarship Fund will award two scholarships annually. KHS also launched a new scholarship program to support Bakersfield College nursing students. This marks the first time KHS is funding scholarships, with the goal of increasing the number of graduates in nursing and social work. By helping to alleviate the shortage of health care professionals in Kern County, these scholarships will contribute to improving care for Kern Family Health Care members.
