180 Medical, a US supplier of catheters and ostomy supplies, offers one $1,000 scholarship a year in the name of former president Ron Howell. It goes to a full-time student who is the primary unpaid caregiver for a family member with a chronic condition that needs ongoing care at home. The application window is January 1 through June 1, and 180 Medical announces the recipient in August. In October 2026 the company was not taking applications, so the next window is January 1 to June 1, 2027.

What is the Ron Howell Caregiver Scholarship?

180 Medical names this $1,000 award for Ron Howell, a former president of the company. It is for a student who is already doing the daily work of caring for a family member with a chronic condition, without being paid for that care, and who will be in school full time that fall.

The window is the same every year: January 1 through June 1. 180 Medical announces the recipient in August. If you land on the page outside that window, you will see a note that applications are closed. In October 2026 that note was up, so the date to plan around is June 1, 2027.

Read the exclusions before you draft anything. Errands and occasional visits do not make you the primary caregiver. A paid home-health or nursing-home job does not qualify you. Medical school and nursing programs are out. Everyone else who matches the two tests on the page can apply at 180medical.com/caregiver-scholarship/, and questions go to [email protected].
