Area students receive RHOP status at Wayne State College

WAYNE — Wayne State College announced that two Hartington Cedar Catholic High School students, Ella Bowers and Annika Kuehn, have been chosen for the highly selective Rural Health Opportunities Program (RHOP) for the Fall 2024 semester.

They join 47 other students in this select program. This number includes students who are full participants and students who are alternates in the program. RHOP’s benefits for full participants include a full-tuition scholarship at Wayne State, guaranteed admission to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), and early course registration privileges at Wayne State.

Alternate participants also receive a tuition waiver and early course registration privileges at Wayne State.

All students selected for the program must come from rural Nebraska because they know the unique needs of their community and are passionate about returning to their roots to serve its rural health care needs. RHOP students pursue their studies at Wayne State and UNMC, with the amount of time at each institution determined by the health field in which they are enrolled.

RHOP at Wayne State currently supports the health fields of Dental Hygiene, Dentistry, Medical Laboratory Science, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, and Radiography.
