The AvaCare Medical Scholarship recognizes those who are working to better the lives of our customers, students who are pursuing a degree in the medical field, with a prize of $1000 toward college tuition. This scholarship is awarded annually to one submission that tells about an inspiring act of kindness.

AvaCare Medical judges will choose five to ten finalists, whose work will then be posted on our website. Voting will be open for a limited time on the scholarship page, after which the winner will be chosen by our judges based on multiple factors including, in part, the number of votes.

Applicants for the AvaCare Scholarship must meet the following criteria:

• Citizen of the United States or in possession of an Alien Registration Card
• High school senior or enrolled in an accredited U.S. college or university
• Achieved a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0
• Pursuing a degree in the medical field such as therapy, nursing, medicine, nutrition, laboratory science, dentistry, health law, etc.
• Although all students with the above criteria are welcome to apply for this scholarship, preference will be given to students with a physical disability.
