The Grossmont Healthcare District encourages future generations to consider the healthcare industry when making career decisions. Senior class advisors/counselors from eligible private, charter and public high schools in East County (see page 5 of the Scholarships Policy) are notified and able to select two seniors planning to pursue healthcare careers at the college level or an accredited health occupations training program.
Each eligible high school selects two total seniors graduating in the current fiscal year: one in the amount of 3.300 $ (1er premio) y uno para 1.650 $ (2º premio). Scholarship awards are paid in two pro-rated installments, contingent upon completing the criteria listed in the award payment section below.
Selection Period OPENS 12/1
It is required that each high school submit its two winners via the Submittable portal. It is highly recommended that each high school have only one representative create a Submittable account in order to alleviate any submission errors.
NOTE: This portal is not for high school public distribution and is strictly for the use of the high school representative only.
