The purpose of this summer Rural Scholar program is to provide exposure to selected health careers for rising high school seniors
while they study in their local communities to improve their scores on the ACT exam. Participation will be part-time for 3 weeks.
Students will receive a stipend equivalent to hourly minimum wage and will divide their time between shadowing health care
professionals in their community and ACT preparation. Congratulations to McLean County High Schools representatives to the
Rural Scholar program:
