Nuherbs 2019 TCM Scholarships

Nuherbs® wishes to thank everyone who made our 2019 Nuherbs Chinese Medicine Scholarship Program possible, in particular the participating schools. These scholarships recognize the future leaders of our growing Chinese medicine community in the United States. Without the support of the practitioners that uses our products and the people that they are helping, this scholarship program would not be possible. Together, we are building the future of Chinese medicine in America.

This year, students from 40 schools across the nation participated. Evaluation criteria were based on the students written responses to a short essay question, as well as their commitment to their schools and communities. This year's question was:

"Chinese herbal medicine's rich history has withstood the test of time to retain relevance and value in the 21st century. With modern advances in science and technology, what can we do as herbal medicine practitioners to ensure the practice forges into the future?"

Scholarships are awarded specifically to assist with tuition at a traditional oriental medicine institution accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Every participant will receive a $30 gift certificate from Nuherbs.

To be eligible, you must be a current student with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and attend a participating school. The 2019 Scholarship Program will be announced later this winter.

Thank You to all the 2019 Nuherbs Scholarship Participating Schools
