YOUR FUTURE IN HEALTHCARE: SCHOLARSHIPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Higher education is indispensable to a medical professional’s career. While many occupations today do not require a college degree, almost all healthcare careers still require some form of higher education. This is for good reason too, as taking the lives of other human beings into your own hands is a big responsibility. Healthcare workers should be as prepared as possible before being asked to do so.

However, like in all disciplines, the cost of higher education in healthcare is only growing more expensive. Medical students can wrack up debt fast, especially with 10+ years of schooling. That’s why we’ve put together this list of healthcare scholarships for high school students and teens!

Some of the scholarships listed here have deadlines quickly approaching or require specific prerequisites for application, so be sure to read the terms of the scholarship fully before applying. We also encourage you to seek out opportunities closer to home, as many local communities and regions have medical scholarships available to students specifically from their area.

Additionally, if you’ve already applied to a college or university, be sure to check whether or not they have any healthcare-specific scholarships. Many colleges and universities have “fast-track” programs available too, where students can complete multiple degrees at once, cutting down on the overall total cost of higher education. Be sure to ask the colleges you’re interested in if they have any such programs or scholarships available.
