East Georgia Regional Medical Center is dedicated to providing quality health care for all. As a reflection of our commitment to meet the healthcare needs of the community, we are offering scholarship opportunities to candidates who meet criteria and are interested in committing to a career in healthcare.
The East Georgia Regional Medical Center scholarship will pay for tuition, required books, lab fees, state board exam, temporary permit and license up to $5000 per year. In return, after graduation, the scholarship recipient is required to work one year for every $5000 granted at East Georgia Regional Medical Center on a full-time basis.
Scholarship recipients are required to maintain a C average or above in each course. Scholarship recipients should be available for employment upon receipt of licensure of their field of study.

I agree to repay the portion not yet forgiven within 3 months
