RHOP selections announced
CHADRON – Thirty-three Nebraska high school students have been selected for the Rural Health Opportunities Program (RHOP) at 91°µÍø. Director of Health Professions Kristal Kuhnel said it was quite a challenge to interview the candidates in person, but the effort was worthwhile.
“With a lot of cooperation among CSC, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and the student interviewees themselves, we made it happen. We’re very excited about the high-quality students we are bringing in for the fall,” Kuhnel said.
Students selected as participants in the program receive a full tuition scholarship to CSC. Students who successfully complete their pre-professional education at CSC advance directly to UNMC without facing an additional application process.
Founded in 1989, RHOP is a collaborative program between 91°µÍø and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. After earning their professional degrees, RHOP participants are expected and encouraged to return to rural Nebraska to provide health care.
