R-COOL-Health Scrubs Academy I
Dates coming soon.
University of North Dakota Campus
Grand Forks, North Dakota
Open to North Dakota students who will have completed grades 6-8.
The University of North Dakota (UND) Rural Collaborative Opportunities for Occupational Learning in Health (R-COOL-Health) Scrubs Academy I is a four day/three night camp held on the University of North Dakota campus.
The Scrubs Academy I encourages junior high students from across North Dakota to pursue a career in healthcare. Students participate in hands-on activities and receive information related to a variety of healthcare professions. In addition to the experiences with healthcare professionals, students are certified in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
The Scrubs Academy I serves as a mini-preparation program to strengthen academic skill sets associated with health disciplines, introduce adolescents to a higher education experience, and foster a relationship between the students and healthcare professionals. Students will sleep in the UND dorms all three evenings.
For students to have the most benefit and to minimize camp disruptions, students are expected to attend all scheduled camp programming.

Scholarship Opportunities
Thanks to the generosity of many organizations in our great state, scholarship opportunities may be available. If you are in need of a scholarship, check back once applications open and complete the scholarship application. Both applications must be completed to apply for a scholarship.
Please do not let the tuition turn you away from applying. We will do our best to find scholarships for as many students as possible, but please know that we cannot guarantee financial assistance of any amount.
Scholarship amounts may be for the entire tuition, or partial.
Scholarships will be communicated via email after applications have closed in April.
You are also encouraged to reach out to your local health facilities about scholarships. Feel free to share the contact information for our project coordinator, McKenzi Sapaugh, with them. She will be happy to coordinate receipt of any scholarships you find on your own.
