Medical Education Provider Launches Scholarship Program for Healthcare Students

Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts, a continuing medical education provider, has launched a new scholarship program supporting adult learners in accredited Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, and Registered Nurse programs across the United States. The initiative offers four annual scholarships of $500 each to help cover educational expenses including tuition, books, and program fees. Applicants must articulate their motivation for pursuing advanced healthcare education and explain how the scholarship will benefit them personally and professionally.

Chuck Dillehay, creator of Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts, emphasized the significant financial commitment required for healthcare education. "Pursuing a career as an NP, PA, or RN requires years of rigorous study and a major financial commitment," Dillehay stated. "Our four annual scholarships are designed to ease that burden and empower students to continue their academic journey." The scholarship represents an investment in the future healthcare workforce at a time when demand for qualified medical professionals continues to grow.

The scholarship application is available through Bold.org until April 20, 2026, with winners announced on May 21, 2026. This initiative comes from an organization that has established itself as a significant player in medical education since its founding in 2011. Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts has grown to become one of the country's most popular medical education events, with 23,674 healthcare professionals having attended their conferences to date.

The organization's educational programs have featured 149 speakers across 97 CME conference sites, generating more than 600,000 continuing medical education credit hours for participants. This scholarship program extends their educational mission beyond conference settings to directly support students during their foundational training. The initiative addresses financial barriers that often prevent talented individuals from completing advanced healthcare degrees, potentially increasing diversity and accessibility within the medical field.

By supporting NP, PA, and RN students, the scholarship program contributes to strengthening the healthcare workforce pipeline. These roles have become increasingly vital in addressing healthcare shortages and improving patient access to care across various medical settings. The financial assistance, while modest in amount, can make a meaningful difference for students balancing educational costs with other financial responsibilities.
