The H.E.R.O Institute, a medical assistant training center with offices in East Cobb, is offering scholarships to help with tuition costs for those pursuing careers as medical and health care assistants.
The organization, based at the East Lake Shopping Center on Roswell Road, stands for Healthcare Education Reimagined Online, and conducts a variety of professional training programs.
The scholarships will pay up to 60 percent of the tuition costs in the center’s day medical assistant training program for “eligible individuals who demonstrate academic potential, financial need, and a commitment to community service or volunteer work related to healthcare or medical assisting,” according to an H.E.R.O. Institute release.
“We believe that education is a key factor in improving the quality of healthcare and the lives of patients, and we want to empower individuals to pursue their dreams of becoming medical assistants and contribute to the improvement of patient care.”
The next 25-week training program begins in August, and the deadline to apply is July 23. Classes will take place Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Students must be Cobb County residents and U.S. citizens who demonstrate financial need and academic potential. Candidates also must submit a personal essay explaining their interest in a career as a medical assistant, as well as letters of recommendation.
