After submission, your application will undergo a comprehensive review by the FHS Program admissions committee. Each applicant will be scored holistically (i.e. not one section in the application carries more weight than another).
How We Evaluate Your Application
Admissions decisions are based on a holistic review—meaning we look at both who you are and what potential you show. We will evaluate your application based on:
Your “WHY” for pursuing healthcare AND applying to be a mentor in the FHS program.
Your commitment to learning and motivation.
Your ability to communicate clearly, with authenticity, and professionally
Any prior experience in teaching/mentorship with kids
Applicants with the highest scores will be invited to participate in a live interview conducted by FHS program staff and faculty members.
Application Tips
Application Tips
The Future Healthcare Scholars (FHS) Program seeks mentors who demonstrate a genuine curiosity and passion for the health sciences and healthcare fields. Your application should reflect who you are, what motivates you, and how this program aligns with your goals.
Show your authentic interest. The admissions team values sincerity over formality. Be honest about what sparked your interest in healthcare and what keeps you motivated to pursue it.
Quality over quantity. The number of extracurricular activities or opportunities you talk about does not influence your application outcome. Instead, if you choose to talk about prior experience, focus on the depth of your involvement—highlight experiences that have been meaningful to you and have inspired or sparked your interest in healthcare.
Be reflective. Use your video application to tell your story. Explain why healthcare interests you, how your experiences have shaped your perspective, and what you hope to gain from participating in the FHS program.
