Ron Howell Caregiver College Scholarship from 180 Medical

180 Medical is proud to present a caregiver scholarship opportunity for college students. We often speak with caregivers and witness the compassionate care they demonstrate despite the challenges and financial hardships that sometimes go hand-in-hand with caregiving. In honor of caregivers, 180 Medical created the Ron Howell Caregiver College Scholarship Award as a way to give back.

How to Apply for the 180 Medical Caregiver Scholarship

The annual 180 Medical caregiver scholarship application period is from January 1 to June 1 each calendar year. We announce the recipients of each year’s scholarship in August.

Please note: paid caregiving professionals (nurses, nursing home workers, etc.) or students currently in medical school are ineligible to apply.
