Vicki Chang Scholarship

Deadline: May 25, 2012


The Chinatown Health Clinic Foundation is accepting applications for the Vicki Chang Scholarship. The scholarship will support the cost for attending a vocational school, college, graduate or professional school leading to a terminal degree, license or recognized credential in health care. Recipients may receive up to $10,000 for tuition, books, fees, transportation, housing and other expenses.

To be eligible, applicants must:

  • Be admitted or enrolled in a program of study that will lead to a terminal degree, license or recognized credential in the field of health care.
  • Be fluent in one Asian language as well as English.
  • Demonstrate financial need.
  • Be a United States citizen or legal permanent resident.
  • Be in a school or training program recognized by the state or by a nationally-recognized accrediting agency.
