Our mission includes experiential learning for a couple of high school students, in their third year of Spanish or beyond, to provide translation and all-around help, including medical care. Travel costs and mission fee are covered by HCMM – which comes to about $2,500.
Some scholarship recipients are now working as nurses, nurse practitioners, and doctors; others have chosen non-medical careers. All of them say their mission experience was "life changing."
Criteria for student scholarships:
- a junior or senior at a Hancock County, Maine, high school
- advanced Spanish study (in 3rd year or beyond)
- interest in the medical field is a plus
