HUMMINGBIRD HEALTHCARE SCHOLARSHIP
The Hummingbird Healthcare Scholarship is completely funded by a Jamaican healthcare professional that is now living in the United States. Although the donor prefers to remain anonymous they would like for the scholarship to be donated to a university/college student that is studying to pursue a degree in healthcare (i.e., medicine, dentistry, public health, etc.)
SCHOLARSHIP CONDITIONS
Scholarships may be used for funding related to current enrollment by the student at an accredited college or university. Students may use the scholarship funds to help cover the costs of tuition, fees, books, room and board, computers, health insurance, study abroad and other college related expenses.
