We Are The Scholars Network
Founded in 2023, the Scholars Network connects students, schools, and employers to address workforce shortages, alleviate student debt, and strengthen future workforce capacity.
Our Beliefs
Students should be empowered, not burdened, for choosing to serve in high-need fields.
Health systems and their patients deserve a long-term workforce embedded in the community.
Education should create opportunity, not barriers.
