MERIT

The Medical Education Resources Initiative for Teens (MERIT) aims to support and mentor high school students from under-represented populations into health care leaders. After a rigorous selection process during high school sophomore year, MERIT Scholars participate in weekly Saturday sessions, summer internships in hospitals and laboratories, and a longitudinal mentoring program, which extends through college. Although the Foundation does not fund health care, this $14,500 Management Assistance Grant provided funds for consulting costs for strategic planning.
