Health Careers  Scholarships of Sonoma County 

  opening doors to medical education





Invest in students & a quality healthcare

Sonoma County faces a shortage of skilled healthcare providers. At the same time, medical education costs are skyrocketing and preventing many students from pursuing careers in healthcare.


Health Careers Scholarships empower deserving students to become the next generation of physicians, nurses and other greatly needed healthcare providers for our community.

Scholarships are essential

75% of Health Careers Scholarships recipients are the first in their families to graduate from college and most come from low-income backgrounds.

Scholarships offer both financial relief from educational debt and the encouragement that comes from knowing that the community believes in your potential.

Scholarships' ripple effect

Today's scholarship recipients are filling the gap in primary care and family medicine and are committed to giving back to the Sonoma County community that helped them achieve their goals.

Students just need a chance

More than 1000 scholarships have been awarded to Sonoma County students since 1965, and the need is greater than ever. Please consider investing in these deserving students.
