Ron Howell Caregiver Scholarship

180 Medical is proud to present a caregiver scholarship opportunity for college students. We often speak with caregivers and witness their compassionate care despite the challenges and financial hardships that sometimes go hand-in-hand with caregiving. In honor of caregivers, 180 Medical created the Ron Howell Caregiver College Scholarship Award as a way to give back. To be eligible to apply, students must be the primary unpaid caregiver for a family member or loved one with a chronic disability or medical condition requiring in-home care. They must be planning to attend college in the United States as legal residents for their Associate's, undergraduate, or graduate degree in the fall of the year of application. The scholarship provides a $1,000 award to one recipient. The application period runs from January 1 to June 1, with recipients announced in August. Paid caregivers, students currently in medical school, or nursing students are not eligible to apply.
