MERIT Baltimore

The Medical Education Resources Initiative for Teens (MERIT) transforms Baltimore City high school students into Baltimore’s health care leaders by preparing them for success in college and beyond. To accomplish these goals, MERIT provides a holistic support system for three years including weekly Saturday sessions focused on academic enrichment and college admissions guidance, paid summer internships in hospitals and laboratories, and longitudinal mentoring. Scholars are selected during their sophomore year of high school and participate in intensive MERIT programming until graduation, at which point they become MERIT alumni and receive continued guidance throughout college.
