IL Rural Health Association

Rural Health Workforce Development Scholarships

Because of the dire shortage of dentists, pharmacists and behavioral health specialists in rural Illinois, each Janaury IRHA awards scholarships to students, who plan to practice in an medically underserved rural setting Illinois.  Applications are open Oct-Nov and selections are made in December for the spring semester. 

 Congrats to our 2026 recipients!
