Ron Howell Caregiver Scholarship from 180 Medical
Providing care for a loved one while pursuing your education requires dedication, compassion, and resilience. To recognize those efforts, 180 Medical offers an annual caregiver scholarship opportunity for full-time students who serve as unpaid caregivers for a family member or loved one with a chronic condition.
Whether you’re just starting college or returning to the classroom later in life, if you qualify, we encourage you to apply to the Ron Howell Caregiver College Scholarship.
How to Apply for the 180 Medical Caregiver Scholarship
The Caregiver Scholarship application period is from January 1 to June 1 each year. We’ll announce the recipients of this year’s scholarship in August.
We are not accepting applications at this time; please wait until the next application period.

Also, please note that paid caregivers (nurses, nurse’s aides, home health workers, nursing home workers, etc.) or students currently in medical school or nursing are not eligible to apply.
