Desert Health Care District Scholarship

The Desert Health Care District Scholarship is now available online. The application Deadline is April 22. Remember, this scholarship is an automatic two year scholarship for anyone selected. Requirements are listed below. If a student has already applied to the Pathways To Success Scholarship, all they have to do is log on to the Desert health care scholarship and hit submit. If students missed the PTS scholarship deadline, this is a great opportunity for them to get in the running of another scholarship. If you would like us to come and give presentations to any of your classes, please let us know. Alex and I will be happy to pay you a visit.
