The Step by Step Scholarship Fund offers scholarships to graduate students to help offset their travel expenses incurred through participation in global health outreach.
Experience has shown that students engaged in meaningful humanitarian service will develop into professionals that continue to give back throughout their careers. As graduate professional students grow through service to under-served populations, they develop a desire that propels them to serve again and again.
Scholarship support will allow as many students as possible to have the opportunity for a health outreach experience, and thereby we will have a generation graduating with a greater commitment to give to their communities or to international populations in need.
