FYI - health / health field related scholarships
The application process for the 2009 LGBT HEART Scholarships has begun. LGBT HEART www.lgbtheart.org exists to improve the health of LGBT individuals, and supporting the health professions education of LGBT students (nursing, medical, dental, pharmacy, podiatric, public health, rehabilitation – ANY health profession), who will eventually serve those communities is just one of HEART's programs.
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Health, Education and Research Trust, Inc. (LGBT HEART) awards scholarships to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) identified students in the health sciences in the United States. Each scholarship provides supplemental funding for graduate level students who have a demonstrated ability in and commitment to affecting change in the LGBT communities through their commitment to working and being educated in the health professions. By providing scholarships to LGBT students, LGBT HEART recognizes these students' past achievements and provides much needed support for their future pursuits. Through these awards, we forge links between professional and emerging leaders. In doing so, LGBT HEART helps to facilitate the growth and advancement of not only these individuals – but of our communities as well.
