Winners are named TYLENOL® Future Care Scholars and receive awards of $5,000 or $10,000 to help manage the rising cost of education.

To be eligible, students must have completed at least one year of undergraduate or graduate study by the Spring of 2013 at an accredited two or four year college, university or vocational/technical school.
“I chose to pursue a career in the healthcare industry (and particularly nursing) because it provides me with nearly limitless opportunities to learn and grow while contributing to the health and well-being of others,” said Johns Hopkins University student, Jocelyn A.
“Serving patients is the reason I want to spend a lifetime in healthcare,” declared Kelsey M., of Des Moines University-Osteopathic.
