Twelve exceptional students were awarded a $1,000 scholarship each. These scholarships are awarded annually by Mission Regional Medical Center to high school seniors interested in pursuing a career in the medical field.

The scholarships are available to students who are graduating seniors from Mission, Veterans Memorial, Sharyland, La Joya, Juarez-Lincoln and Palmview High School.
