Banner Health Pediatric Otolaryngology (ENT) Scholarship

PracticeMatch is proud to partner with Banner Health to support pediatric otolaryngology fellows in their pursuit of excellence in patient care.

The Banner Health Pediatric Otolaryngology (ENT) Scholarship was established through a partnership between PracticeMatch and Banner Health to honor fellows who demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing care for children with ear, nose, and throat conditions and making a meaningful difference in their communities.

This scholarship aims to ease the financial burden of medical education for current fellows. To apply, submit your CV and an essay (minimum of 500 words) describing your inspiration for pursuing a career in pediatric otolaryngology and how you plan to use your expertise to improve patient outcomes and positively impact the lives of children and their families. The winner will receive $2,000 to be applied toward their education.

CRITERIA
Scholarship essays will be evaluated based on the applicant's ability to clearly and thoughtfully express their vision and passion, rather than agreement with PracticeMatch's views. Judges will look for writing that is compelling, organized, and demonstrates a deep commitment to caring for pediatric patients through a medical career.
