The Brave of Heart Scholarship was established to provide support to families of frontline healthcare workers, volunteers, and support staff whose lives were lost in the fight against COVID-19. Applicants must be a child, spouse or domestic partner of a frontline healthcare worker who lost their life to a COVID-19-related cause. The child must be living in the frontline healthcare worker's household or primarily supported by the frontline healthcare worker. If the child is enrolled in a graduate school program, they must be age 26 and under and may be financially dependent or independent to be eligible. To continue receiving scholarship assistance beyond age 26, children must then continue to apply for the Brave of Heart Scholarship (uninterrupted) and maintain continuous enrollment in their program (uninterrupted), with the exception of summer vacation. Frontline healthcare worker is defined as a person who lived in the United States at the time of death and worked or volunteered in or for a licensed hospital, medical center or clinic, nursing home, medical transport vehicle, triage center, or other licensed medical facility, provider, or setting, or who worked or volunteered as an emergency medical technician, ambulance technician or paramedic. The individual must have had the possibility of exposure to patients with COVID-19 while working or volunteering. Applicants must plan to enroll in an undergraduate or graduate program (graduate program must have a patient-facing medical major). Non-traditional students are encouraged to apply, and will be considered even if they do not have a recent GPA. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
