Click here for Kerr Scholarship Application
The Robert L. Kerr Scholarship was established to assist medical and dental students from the Baxter Health service area with tuition expenses. The goal of this scholarship is to encourage medical students to practice in the Baxter Regional service area after completing their medical degree. It is named in honor of Dr. Robert Kerr, a longtime Mountain Home family practice physician, who is now retired and living in Little Rock.
We take great pride in our area medical students and are excited to offer this opportunity to them. Together, we will move forward to become the most comprehensive, high-quality regional medical center in the nation.
