H.O.P.E. Summer Medical Internship

2012-02-08T09:23:00.000-08:00

WSU Health Occupations Preparatory Experience (HOPE) Program: Were Back! After a year of working to secure funding for the Project H.O.P.E program we are proud to announce we will be able to fund a new group of students for the summer of 2012. This will be the eleventh summer for Project H.O.P.E. aimed at increasing the number of students from ethnically diverse groups currently underrepresented in the health professions who might pursue an education in health careers.

To qualify for the program you have to be a current junior or senior in high school at the time you are filling out the application.

Through Project H.O.P.E. students are placed in internships at health care facilities within the student’s local community. The internship will last between 4 and 6 weeks and is approximately four hours per day. The student will rotate through several health care departments (within one facility) or through more than one facility to experience the broad range of available health care careers. Students are encouraged to ask questions, observe procedures, find out about education requirements, and explore health careers. Project H.O.P.E. interns will be provided a stipend for participating in the program. The stipend is paid at the end of the internship program and upon receipt of a provided invoice and completion of a student journal documenting their activities. The stipend is paid at the minimum per hour wage level or $173.00 weekly. Applications are due March 9, 2012

We serve students in Eastern Washington which include the following counties: Adams, Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, Grant, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lincoln, Okanogan, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Yakima.

WELLS FARGO COLLEGE STEPS SWEEPSTAKES!

2011-03-21T14:27:00.000-07:00

Find More Money for College

When planning how to pay for college, it’s important to start with money that doesn’t need to be repaid like scholarships and grants. Wells Fargo offers tips on planning for college through the CollegeSTEPS® program.

Wells Fargo’s CollegeSTEPS Program

College preparation tips

If you’re a high school student, enroll in Wells Fargo’s CollegeSTEPS Program to get valuable emails that keep you on track with college planning. You’ll get tips on things like how to study, getting financial aid, and making campus visits.

College tuition prizes

By signing up for the program, high school students are automatically entered into the CollegeSTEPSTM Sweepstakes* for a chance to win $1,000 for college. There’s no purchase necessary. See the Official Rules for complete details and the latest winners.

Sign up for the CollegeSTEPS Program.

Look for scholarships

When it comes to scholarships, you should start searching early and be persistent. Fastweb is a free scholarship search service where you can create a personalized profile and locate scholarships applicable to you and your talents and interests. Fastweb is a a Monster® company and is not owned or operated by Wells Fargo.
Other ways to find scholarships include:

Do an online search for “scholarships.”

Visit your high school counselor or college resource center to research any local or school-specific scholarships.

Check out scholarship reference books in a library or bookstore; make sure you locate the most current edition.

If you attend or are thinking of attending a specific college, visit that school's website or call their admission's office to determine if they offer any scholarships.

Be community-minded: does your religious organization, bank, or other civic organization offer scholarships?

Beware of scholarship scams

Scholarships are "free money," so you should never have to pay money to get them. Watch out for scholarship scams or companies that require a credit card number just to perform a search. Save the money and do it yourself! Go to www.finaid.org for more details on scholarship scams and how to report them.

Guidance for high school counselors

If you're helping students make decisions about college, you'll find valuable tips on education financing in The Guide, our biannual e-newsletter for high school counselors.
