A representative from the Tennessee Center for Health Workforce Development will be on hand to make the presentation. If you know when your Senior Awards Night is scheduled, please let us know the date and time.

  2. Clinical or volunteer experience
  3.  Participation in a HOSA program

Once we receive a student nomination, we will email the nominating advisor with a request for the additional materials needed to complete the application.  Materials include: HOSA advisor recommendation, student transcript (unofficial is fine - if transcript is unavailable, please submit GPA), optional additional letters of recommendation and a personal statement/essay from the student.  We will provide topics to choose from.
