Interest Scholarship

 

The Healthy Huron Interest Scholarship was established in 2016 to help turn the tide on one of the top challenges facing Huron and rural health care. This effort focuses on supporting those in the Huron area that are interested in a career in the medical field but are either not pursuing a degree in a critical need field or are not ready to make a commitment to return to the Huron area after graduation.

Award Amounts

An annual amount of up to $10,000 is available to be split amongst multiple scholarship recipients.

Deadline

The Interest Scholarship deadline is Sunday, March 31, 2024.
