  • An award up to $4,000 per school year. Up to ninety-five (95) new awards will be granted each year

Financial need will be considered. Recipients must demonstrate need.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Medline play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
