Go Red Scholarship: Funding for Minority Women in Medicine

The Go Red scholarship supports higher inclusion of multicultural women in the healthcare and nursing industries, addresses essential gaps in the treatment, and ensures that all American women of diverse backgrounds have an opportunity to work with their medical providers to make the best choices that lead to overall good health.

Sponsored by Macy’s and supported by American Heart Association, the scholarship program aims to reduce the financial burden by offering sixteen $2,500 tuition focused scholarships and increase the number of underrepresented minority women in medicine. For the fourth consecutive year, partners are offering the financial aid to women pursing undergraduate or graduate degrees in the health care fields.
