Scholarships Available for Chapter Members
Joining a MEDLIFE Chapter can unlock valuable scholarships to help you participate in life-changing service learning trips. Whether you’re looking for a discount on your trip or a full scholarship to cover your costs, there are multiple opportunities to ease the financial burden and make your international service more accessible.
1. Group Discounts
MEDLIFE Service Learning Trips offer group discounts, meaning the larger the group, the greater the discount for each participant. Traveling as a group not only makes the trip more affordable, but also strengthens the impact your team can have in the community.
If you’re interested in bringing a group, contact your Chapter Coach or E-Board member to start recruiting participants and organizing your trip. The more people you bring, the bigger the discount—and the bigger the impact your group can make.
2. MEDLIFE Advocate Rewards Program
You can benefit from the MEDLIFE Advocate Rewards Program, which rewards students for helping grow the MEDLIFE community. By referring friends to join a Service Learning Trip or helping start a new MEDLIFE chapter, you can earn discounts on future Service Learning Trips (SLTs).
These rewards can add up over time—potentially covering the cost of an entire SLT. This program recognizes students who expand MEDLIFE’s impact by bringing more volunteers into the movement and helping grow service opportunities around the world.
3. Global Impact Scholarship
Participants who join a MEDLIFE Service Learning Trip are eligible for the Global Impact Scholarship, regardless of whether they are part of a Chapter, which provides $150 off your next SLT.
This benefit encourages continued engagement and allows participants to deepen their impact in MEDLIFE partner communities.
4. Chapter Founders Scholarship
If you are not yet part of a MEDLIFE Chapter but are interested in bringing MEDLIFE to your school, you can apply to start a chapter and become a Chapter Founder.
As a Chapter Founder, you may be eligible for the Chapter Founder Scholarship, which provides a significant discount on your first Service Learning Trip (SLT). This scholarship can also extend to your future chapter members, helping your team join their first trip at a reduced cost.
Starting a chapter is a great opportunity to bring global health and service opportunities to your campus while building a community committed to creating sustainable change.
