Heathcare - Sanken-Hatz Scholarship

The Sanken-Hatz scholarship is awarded annually to encourage and support students pursuing health care careers. It was established in memory of Carl Sanken, a farmer from the Biscay area, and Don Hatz, a farmer and postal clerk from the Glencoe area. Both remembered us in their wills with generous bequests to the Glencoe Regional Health Foundation.
