$500 Scholarship from National Bio-CARE

National Bio-CARE is a leading provider of medical and pharmaceutical waste disposal in the states of Louisiana and Texas. We not only help our customers provide a safe environment for employees, clients, and community members, but we also ensure that they are in full compliance with OSHA regulations.

At National Bio-CARE, we work with a wide variety of clients in healthcare professions, and we place a high value on public health. We appreciate the contributions of healthcare workers like doctors, pharmacists, nurses, medical technicians, nursing assistants, and many others. However, we realize that the expense of getting a college degree can be a barrier to many promising students in healthcare fields. For that reason, we are offering a $500 scholarship to a student who is planning to enter the medical field at any level.

To apply for the scholarship, students should write an essay discussing the importance of proper disposal of medical waste. The essay should begin by providing a definition of medical waste and then give several detailed examples of waste materials, how to dispose of them, and potential consequences of improper disposal. The essay should be anywhere from 500 to 750 words in length.
