About The DermElevate
Scholarship Initiative

Founded in 2024 by Dr David Harvey, The DermElevate Scholarship Initiative is dedicated to empowering students with financial need as they pursue healthcare-related degrees. Our mission is to help students fulfill their academic ambitions and inspire the next generation of healthcare leaders.

We offer 11 scholarships each year, supporting both high school and college students who demonstrate a commitment to excellence. Awards are granted based on a variety of criteria, including academic achievement (GPA), the quality of service projects, and even opportunities for overseas travel.

Beyond financial support, DermElevate is building a legacy of mentorship. Scholarship recipients are invited to participate in our mentorship-mentee program, where today’s awardees help guide and inspire future generations. This cycle of support and leadership development is at the heart of our vision.

Our motto, “Empowering Futures…Elevating Minds,” reflects our commitment to making a lasting difference in the lives of students and the communities that they serve.

Our mission

As a scholarship foundation, our mission is committed to making educational and service opportunities accessible and affordable for outstanding students from underserved and diverse communities. By empowering these future leaders and visionaries, we strive to help them reach their full potential as professionals and changemakers.
