United Health Diverse Clinician Advancement Scholarship

Thank you for telling your students about the Diversity in Health Care Scholarship

The United Health Foundation is working to advance a more diverse health workforce ready to deliver high-quality, culturally competent care to all communities. The Diversity in Health Care Scholarship provides 325 scholarships of $3,200 to health care professionals seeking to advance their clinical skills.

To apply, applicants must:
• Be a current or former healthcare professional with an active license/certificate to practice (e.g., individuals with experience in clinical health care roles), seeking to advance their clinical credentials.
• Be pursuing certifications or degrees that will advance clinical skills (e.g., CNA to LPN, Nurse Practitioner receiving a certification as a psychiatric-mental health NP or other “upskilling” clinical pathways) in a clinical health career (e.g., as a nurse, physician assistant, clinical psychologist, or clinical social worker). Physicians who are seeking additional certifications or degrees are not eligible.
• Be planning to enroll for the Fall 2024 term in an accredited program in the United States, as a full or part-time post-secondary student (undergraduate or graduate). Both in-person and virtual attendance qualify.
• Be expected to complete the certification, license, or degree within two years.
• Self-identify as a historically underrepresented student, including those who identify as Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
• Be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident.
