Healthcare education is very rewarding, but it can also be rather costly. To help reduce these costs, there are scholarships currently available through HealthcareSystemCareersEDU.org. Our selection committee names a scholarship recipient on a bi-annual basis. Each winner will receive a $500 scholarship award to put to the cost of healthcare related education.
HealthcareSystemCareersEDU.org Academic Scholarship
The team of professionals at HealthcareSystemCareersEDU.org places great value on healthcare education. In an effort to show just how much we believe in healthcare education, we now offer bi-annual scholarships to deserving students who are currently enrolled in a healthcare degree or certificate program. Our Healthcare Academic Scholarship is based on merit and is open to students who are currently enrolled at a campus. Students who are currently part of an online program are also eligible to receive this scholarship. One condition remains for all applicants: the healthcare related program must be deemed a qualified program. The scholarship is also open to healthcare students at all different stages of the education process. Other requirements are that students must be currently enrolled and only one application per student will be allowed over the course of a 12-month period.

Equal Opportunity Consideration
HealthcareSystemCareersEDU.org does not discriminate in any way based on age, race, sex, religion, disability status or sexual preference. Each individual scholarship applicant will be considered equally. The separating factors among applicants depend on their academic merits, the strength of the essay, the overall application and the collective value of all criteria. The HealthcareSystemCareersEDU.org website has complete discretion in the process of selecting each scholarship winner.
Announcing the Winner
Those who are chosen as the winners of the HealthcareSystemCareersEDU.org scholarship will be notified of that accomplishment within 30 days of the close of the application deadline. Winners will receive a notification via e-mail, as well as through the postal mail. The winning applicant will be asked to provide transcripts from his/her current college or university so that the scholarship committee can verify the GPA. If a winner fails to supply those necessary records, or provides a GPA that differs from what was on the application, then HealthcareSystemCareersEDU.org reserves the right to rescind the scholarship and award it to another qualified applicant.
The scholarship award will be paid directly to a qualifying health education program in the form of $500.00 check. Winners can expect the award to be distributed within 3 months of receiving their winning notification letter.
