Northside Hospital Cherokee has awarded a total of $27,500 in scholarships to Reinhardt University students for the 2024–2025 academic year. This enduring partnership helps expand access to meaningful career pathways and contributes to strengthening the nursing workforce.

Of this amount, $20,000 was awarded to eight students in the Dr. John A. Cauble School of Nursing and Health Sciences. By reducing financial barriers, Northside Hospital Cherokee enables students to focus more fully on their academic and clinical training.

Over the years, Northside has supported Reinhardt not only through scholarships but also as a dedicated sponsor of student success initiatives and healthcare education programs. This support reflects a shared commitment to building a stronger, healthier community through education, opportunity, and service.

In addition, Northside Hospital Cherokee serves as a primary sponsor of Reinhardt’s annual Dave Henritze Scholarship Golf Classic, which raises scholarship funds for Reinhardt students.
