BuzzRx® Launches New 'Bee Healthy' Scholarship Program
Empowering Future Health Leaders
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, BuzzRx, a free prescription savings service that allows users to instantly find the lowest price on their medication at pharmacies nationwide, is proud to announce the launch of the first annual BuzzRx Bee Healthy Scholarship Program. This initiative is designed to support and nurture the next generation of healthcare professionals by awarding four $5,000 scholarships to college and university students pursuing health-related education and careers. The scholarships aim to reduce the financial burden of rising tuition costs while celebrating the hard work and community service of tomorrow's healthcare leaders.
Investing in Future Healthcare Leaders
As college education costs continue to skyrocket, with the average in-state tuition for a public university reaching over $10,000 per year, students face mounting financial pressures that can derail their academic and professional ambitions. According to the College Board, tuition and fees for the 2023-2024 academic year increased 2.7% at public universities, adding strain on students and families. The BuzzRx Bee Healthy Scholarship is a direct response to this challenge, providing much-needed financial relief to aspiring healthcare professionals, and is specifically focused on students who are committed to improving the health and wellness of their communities.
"We understand how difficult it can be to pursue a career in healthcare, especially in today's economic climate," notes Matthew Herfield, Co-Founder and CEO of BuzzRx. "With tuition rates climbing, it's essential to offer opportunities that help students not only afford their education but also inspire them to lead change in the healthcare industry. By investing in these students, we are directly contributing to the future of healthcare innovation and access."
Scholarship Details
The Bee Healthy Scholarship is open to full-time undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in an accredited two-year or four-year institution in the U.S. who are studying healthcare-related fields. This includes students pursuing degrees in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, public health, healthcare policy, STEM (with a focus on healthcare), and related fields. Applicants must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher and demonstrate leadership in school or community service, particularly in efforts that positively impact health and wellness.
This year, BuzzRx will award four scholarships of $5,000 each to help recipients cover the cost of tuition. To apply, students must submit an essay with a video component addressing the question, "How have you impacted your community by improving the health and well-being of others?"
