The charge of the scholarship opportunity is to inspire high school students that have been impacted in some way by health care related issues and want to make a difference in health care in their community.

All essays were judged based on understanding of the topic, style, writing, spelling and grammar.
Jendayi Guy, the 2010 scholarship winner, explained that she felt the practical experience DRM ILC provided her an edge over other nursing students. "I didn't really know what my first steps should be and how I was going to get started. Winning the scholarship helped me to get going in the right direction," Guy said.
