J. Scott Sanders MD Memorial Scholarship
In memoriam, the Mankato Clinic Foundation has developed the $2,000 J. Scott Sanders MD Memorial Scholarship for high school seniors.
Following a courageous battle with cancer, in May 2006 the Mankato Clinic lost one of its most beloved physicians, pulmonologist and critical care specialist, J. Scott Sanders, MD. He was distinctly known by his patients and colleagues as one of the most thoughtful, caring, humble, and respected physicians of his time. According to those closest to him, his strength as a human being and skill as a health care provider was derived from his open-minded approach to life, including the value of community service, a love for sports and the arts, and most of all, a career centered on his passion for helping others.

Scott Sanders MD Memorial Scholarship, high school seniors must reside within the Mankato Clinic service area, which includes Mankato, North Mankato, St. Peter, Lake Crystal, Mapleton and nearby communities; and must plan to obtain a post-secondary education following high school graduation. Post-secondary education includes college, university and vocational school.
