Kirby Medical Center and The Kirby Foundation have created a Healthcare Scholarship Program for high school seniors and students already enrolled in a healthcare field. The scholarship can pay up to 100% of tuition, housing, and books. In return, the scholar agrees to return to Kirby Medical Center after graduation to work an amount of time commensurate with the scholarship awarded.

New or current students interested in a career in nursing, radiologic technology, laboratory sciences, family medicine, physical therapy, Paramedic studies, or any other healthcare field, are encouraged to apply immediately. Scholarship recipients will be notified at the end of February.

The application process is currently under construction and will be available soon. Feel free to contact Andrew Buffenbarger, Chief Compliance Officer at abuffenbarger@kirbyhealth.org or Sarah Ross, Foundation Director at sross@kirbyhealth.org for information about the upcoming scholarship.
