Dr. Tien Tan Vo Imperial Valley Healthcare Heroes Award
Local healthcare workers demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to their communities, day in and day out, as they work long hours and selflessly serve their patients.
Many workers stepped up during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, choosing to stay and help their underserved community and putting the needs of others before their own, often at great personal sacrifice. These individuals should be uplifted on their journeys towards educational or career advancement, just as they invested in their patients before.
This scholarship aims to support “healthcare heroes” who are working and serving their communities, all while furthering their education at local colleges and institutions.
Any undergraduate or graduate student at a community college, four-year university, or allied health program may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they previously worked or are currently working in healthcare in the Imperial Valley of California.
To apply, tell us about your past or current experience working in healthcare, what inspired you to get involved, and how you hope to make an impact in the future.
