May 17, 2024 — If you plan to pursue work as a registered nurse, respiratory therapist, clinical laboratory technologist, radiologic technologist, or surgical technologist, and you agree to work in an underserved area of New York for two years upon graduation – the NYS Healthcare Workers for Our Future Scholarship Program is for you.
The program provides a two-year scholarship to approximately 500 selected recipients covering tuition, room and board, and other related expenses in an approved program of study at any approved New York state public or private college or university.
“The Healthcare Workers for Our Future scholarship represents not only New York state’s continuing commitment to our students’ education in critical fields but also Governor Hochul’s commitment to fostering a robust healthcare system in New York that is both resilient and equitable,” New York State Higher Education Services Corporation President Dr. Guillermo Linares said. “This scholarship supports our students’ educational journeys by providing financial assistance and empowering them to make a difference in communities where the scarcity of healthcare services is most prevalent.”
