Apply for the Stronger Scholarship
Young people are actively changing the world. They bring new ideas, strategies, and
perspectives to issues our communities have been struggling to overcome for decades.
Young people are taking to the streets, mobilizing, and speaking out against racial
injustices, health inequities, and environmental racism—all with heart, hope, and
vision.
In recognition of the important role young changemakers play in creating healthy,
safe, vibrant, and equitable communities, Prevention Institute has partnered with
Healthline to offer this year’s Stronger Scholarship. The scholarship will award three
$7,000 scholarships to students working to improve community conditions and reduce
health inequities in their communities.
