Bibb Medical Center (BMC) provides scholarship opportunities for students pursuing careers in healthcare. These scholarships aim to encourage students to enter healthcare professions and consider careers within the Bibb Medical System.
The application period for BMC scholarships opens annually on January 1st and closes on March 31st. Applications must be submitted within this timeframe to be considered.
To qualify for a BMC scholarship, applicants must meet specific criteria, including enrollment or acceptance at an accredited college, university, or program of study as outlined by each scholarship. High school applicants must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale and be full-time students. College students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, take at least 12 credit hours, and remain eligible for continued enrollment. Applicants must also be majoring in or planning to major in a healthcare discipline.
BMC offers several scholarships, including:
- BMC Scholarship: Open to students pursuing a degree in healthcare. Applications are available starting January 1st each year.
- BMC Nursing Pathway Scholarship: Designed for nursing students, with applications opening at the start of each semester.
- Auxiliary Scholarship: Supports students committed to healthcare careers, with applications open from January to March annually.
Interested students must complete and submit the appropriate scholarship application during the designated period. The BMC Scholarship Committee reviews all applications, and incomplete submissions are not considered. Scholarship decisions are typically made by the end of April, and recipients are notified in writing. Funds are disbursed directly to educational institutions upon proof of enrollment, with checks sent in mid-June.
