The Rural Leaders Pipeline of The University of Alabama is sponsoring the Rural Health Scholars Program (RHSP) for 25 high school students who are currently in the 11th grade. The ultimate goal of the program is to make quality health care more available to our rural communities. Students take two college courses (Introduction to Chemistry and Creative Writing) at no academic risk. This means that only students who earn the grade of "A," "B," or "C" in each course will be awarded college credit. Those who do not earn at least a "C" will have no negative effect on their college record. Tuition, room and meals will be provided at no cost to participants.
Requirements:
*Resident of Rural Alabama for 5 years
*Taken ACT with writing section and scored 21 or equivalent (required for enrollment)
*Currently a 11th grader with B average (3.0)
*Two letters of recommendation
*Statement of interest essay
