Founded by a survivor of violence and a single parent, the RELEVANCE Scholarship reflects the founder’s belief that everything we experience—every struggle and triumph—holds meaning in shaping our journey toward growth and purpose. 

The founder’s own path through trauma, adversity, and the challenges of raising children as a single parent has instilled a deep conviction that life’s difficulties serve to shape our character and purpose, making us stronger and more determined to create positive change.

This scholarship aims to help aspiring medical professionals focus on their studies and navigate the demanding and costly journey toward becoming healthcare leaders.

Any high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student from a single-parent household may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have demonstrated resilience, perseverance, and a commitment to overcoming personal, financial, and academic obstacles. Medical or pre-med students are preferred, but aspiring nurses are also eligible.

To apply, tell us how the challenges you have faced have influenced your decision to pursue a career in medicine and how your experiences will help you make a difference in healthcare.
