We are pleased to announce the eleventh year of the Kaiser Permanente Health Care Career Scholarship Program! This year, we will continue to offer a scholarship to at least one qualified student at each eligible high school. In addition, up to 25 percent of the scholarships awarded will be for $5,000 or $10,000. The deadline to apply is Friday, December 15, 2018, 5 p.m. PST.
We’d love to help provide information and reminders to your students. Please encourage them to follow us on Twitter: @KPNWScholarship
See below for key details. In addition, mid to late September, your school will receive packets containing posters and materials to help inform students about the scholarship.

TEACHER/COUNSELOR NOMINATION:
Applicants need only one recommendation in the form of a nomination from a teacher or counselor. As soon as the applicant has entered the teacher/counselor nominator’s email address into the application, the nominator will receive an email with instructions for confidentially submitting the nomination online. The applicant will not be able to submit his/her application until the nominator has submitted the nomination. Click here for nomination instructions.
INTERVIEWS:
We will continue to interview only those applicants being considered for the full spectrum of award amounts ($2,000, $5,000, and $10,000). Students invited to interview are not guaranteed a scholarship in any amount. Students not invited to interview may still be under consideration for a $2,000 scholarship.
