Reduce Trip Costs

MEDLIFE SCHOLARSHIPS & PROGRAMS
We believe that every person, regardless of budget or background, should have the opportunity to volunteer in a Service Learning Trip if they are passionate about international medical relief. That is why we created a few different programs and scholarship opportunities for MEDLIFErs around the world. Check out the options below, and reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions.
Chapter Founder Scholarships
Starting a MEDLIFE chapter on your campus is more than just a club—it’s a pathway to creating lasting change. We understand the dedication and effort it takes to initiate and lead a chapter, and we want to reward your commitment. Our Chapter Founder Scholarships provide financial assistance to students who establish and drive the growth of MEDLIFE chapters on their campuses. These scholarships recognize your leadership, initiative, and dedication to our mission of improving healthcare and education for underserved communities.
SLT Organizer Scholarships
As SLT organizers, parents, and educators are a driving force behind the impact we create. As an SLT organizer, you inspire and guide your peers, leading initiatives that make a difference in the lives of those in need. To honor your leadership and dedication, we offer SLT Organizer Scholarships. These scholarships not only recognize your contributions but also provide the resources you need to continue spearheading projects that address healthcare disparities and drive positive change.
global impact scholarship
Our Global Impact Scholarship is designed exclusively for second-time travelers who want to deepen their involvement with MEDLIFE.
As a returning traveler, you’ve already experienced our community-led approach firsthand. Now, you can take the next step by becoming an Ambassador and continuing your engagement in a more intentional way.
You can redeem your Global Impact Scholarship points through the Advocate Rewards here!
MEDLIFE Advocate Rewards Program
As a Chapter member or SLT participant, you can also take part in the MEDLIFE Advocate Rewards Program. This program recognizes and rewards students for their advocacy and involvement within the MEDLIFE community.
Based on your level of participation—including referring others to join an SLT or start a Chapter—you can earn points that can be redeemed for benefits such as discounts on future Service Learning Trips.
Disclaimer
Under United States tax law and regulations, a donation to MEDLIFE is 100% tax-deductible by the person donating. Please note that the donation goal paid by volunteers to register for a Service Learning Trip covers trip-related expenses and therefore is not tax deductible. If donors have general questions about whether donations to MEDLIFE are tax-deductible, they can call MEDLIFE’S U.S.-based office at 1-844-MEDLIFE (1-844-633-5433). However, specific questions about the deductibility of contributions should be directed to the donor’s qualified tax advisor.
