SHARE Scholarships

Because of the increasing number of older adults and chronic diseases, the United States anticipates a shortage of healthcare workers by 2030. SHARE Foundation's goal is to bring dedicated healthcare professionals back to work in Union County Arkansas to care for our aging population. Through December 2022, SHARE has committed $936,555 to 229 students in 16 health-related careers and 1 public education career.

To be eligible for scholarship assistance, applicants must have completed all prerequisites and have a letter of acceptance into the specific program of study for health care or public education careers.

All scholarships are funded by donations.
