KC MedBridge believes that investing in the next generation of healthcare leaders is essential to building a stronger, healthier future. Creating opportunities for students to shadow medical professionals and gain real-world experience helps to bridge the gap between aspiring physicians and the field of medicine.

KC MedBridge is committed to empowering the next generation of healthcare leaders by connecting students to meaningful opportunities that inspire passion, purpose, and progress in medicine. Outstanding students with a dedication to healthcare and service will shape the future of this field, making a difference in the quality of patient care.

This scholarship aims to support driven students as they take the first steps toward their journeys in medicine.

Any high school student with at least a 3.5 GPA and a clear interest in healthcare (whether through coursework, shadowing, club involvement, or personal initiatives) may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have volunteering or community service experience and if they demonstrate a clear interest in healthcare, whether through coursework, shadowing, club involvement (HOSA, science clubs, etc.), or personal initiatives.

To apply, tell us how you would use the scholarship money if selected as the winner.

Winning Application

Sonika Dahal
Blue Valley West High SchoolOverland Park, KS
My name is Sonika Dahal, and I am a high school senior earning my CNA to start my journey in healthcare. When I was ten, my dad had a life-threatening accident in Nepal that left him in a coma with a 1% chance of survival. While my mom sat with my dad in the hospital, I stayed at home and took care of my little brother while trying to manage school as a primary caregiver. I managed everything, but there were many days I never knew what the future would bring. The moment my dad said my name again was the moment that changed everything. It was that moment that made me realize how powerful hope and care could be. At that moment, I realized I wanted to be in healthcare to help others in their hardest times and provide families with the same amount of hope my family was given. The scholarship would help relieve the financial burden of pursuing my Bachelor’s in Chemistry, medical supplies and preparation for my academic preparation for the MCAT. As a first-generation student, this opportunity is everything, and it means more than just help with my education. It would bring the dream I hold close to my heart into fulfilling my purpose of helping others. If I obtain this scholarship, I would be closer to my dream, providing medically necessary care and comfort to families. It will help me transform my story of loss and hope into healing for an individual.
