This scholarship is available to students in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah who are from communities traditionally unrepresented in professional health care roles including students from rural areas as well as students who are Black, Indigenous and people of color.

Frequently Asked Questions How do I submit an application for grant funding? Each funding opportunity will have its own application process and timeframe. This information is often communicated in a request for proposal (RFP) document and/or a Call for Applications .

All applications are submitted through an online application system. Instructions for submitting applications will be provided for each funding opportunity. What type of organizations are eligible to apply?

Cambia Health Foundation currently accepts applications from organizations in the United States that have received their 501(c)(3) nonprofit and tax-exempt status or 509(a) 1, 2, or 3 (types I, II, or a functionally integrated type III) designation under the Internal Revenue Service Code (IRC); Accredited schools or universities; Units of government and public agencies; Federally recognized Indian Tribal entities.

What is the Foundation's commitment to nondiscrimination, diversity and inclusion? Cambia Health Foundation partners with organizations that value diversity and work to create an inclusive culture.

As a condition of receiving funds, we will ask all organizations to certify they do not discriminate in any aspect of business operations on the basis of age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, political affiliation, religious belief, and any other status protected by law.

We regard a certification of nondiscrimination as one aspect of an organization’s commitment to diversity and creating a culture of inclusion. Beyond adherence to nondiscrimination policies, each organization is on their own journey of learning how best to realize these goals. Cambia Health Foundation is also committed to these practices for our organization.

We value learning alongside our grantees and community partners as we consider and make our investments. Does Cambia Health Foundation have a policy regarding the amount of indirect costs that can be charged to a grant? Yes.

Cambia Health Foundation has a policy that caps institutionally charged indirect costs for a grant at 10 percent per grant.
