DES MOINES, IOWA (November 1, 2022) — The Iowa Hospital Association’s Iowa Hospital Education and Research Foundation will award sixty post-secondary health-care scholarships of up to $7,000 ($3,500 per year for up to two years) and $1,000 to students enrolling in emergency medical technology/technician certification programs. The foundation also will award fifteen $2,000 scholarships to high-school students whose academic performance supports success in college and would benefit from a scholarship to start a health-care area of study.
The scholarships focus on students pursuing high-demand health-care positions. In exchange, post-secondary scholarship recipients must work one year in an Iowa hospital for each year of their scholarship awards. The $1,000 award recipients must work one year with a hospital-based or hospital-contracted emergency-medical service. High-school scholarship recipients are not required to work for an Iowa hospital after graduation.
Post-secondary applicants must be enrolled in an accredited program and be within three years of completing their professional education. Applications must be submitted by Tuesday, February 28, 2023, at https://bit.ly/3W6na91.
