Home About Us Services Your Visit Our Locations Our Impact Careers EN SWLA offers an annual $1000.00 scholarship in the month of May to assist with college tuition each fall. Applications for the annual scholarships are available online in January of the award year for students who are pursuing higher education at a 4 (four) year University. These scholarships are competitive and support students pursing medical careers. Scholarship deadlines dates may vary, but are always in the last week of March of the award year. Once a student has been selected to receive the SWLA Center for Health Services Scholarship, the scholarship committee will notify the school and the student by mail. A member of the SWLA Center for Health Services Board of Directors or Scholarship Committee will present an Award Certificate to the student at senior awards day upon receiving notification of the awards day ceremony. Scholarship recipients are required to present their letter of acceptance from an accredited 4 year University before the scholarship award can be disbursed.
