Other Program Costs
- Immunizations, TB Screening & Titers
All Junior Health Scholars will need to have current immunizations and recent TB screenings during the clearance process. You may also be asked to get titers, which are blood tests that check for immunity to certain diseases. Requirements vary by site and will be discussed further during interviews. Immunizations are generally covered by health insurance or may be obtained from a school health center or low-cost community clinics. You may need to obtain the titers at your own expense.
- Uniform
All Junior Health Scholars are expected to wear khaki pants, white non-canvas shoes, and a white polo shirt to training.
