CRIHB has been awarded a $280,000 grant from the California Wellness Foundation for the Dr. Phillip R. Lee Scholarship Program to support American Indian students pursuing health careers. Scholarships are distributed twice a year. Applications are reviewed and awarded by the CRIHB Scholarship Committee which is made up of CRIHB Board of Director's.

The Native American health care professional care giver is in high demand because the Native American population still has the worst health statistics in the nation and many live on Indian Reservations in remote parts of California that are not attractive to people that do not have any ties to the Indian Communities.
CRIHB has twelve (12) Member Tribal Health Programs that serves over 66,000 Indian patients at 28 Indian Health Clinic sites.
Your donation to the CRIHB Scholarship Program will help ensure the education for Indian Students as they pursue their goals and careers in Health Services and related Health fields.
For more information, please contact California Rural Indian Health Board, Inc. Administrative Services Department at (916) 929-9761 or (800) 274-4288.
