Mid-State Technical College is now accepting applications for two scholarships for new students enrolling in the Respiratory Therapy program in fall 2025. This $1,000 scholarship opportunity is provided by the National Board for Respiratory Care.

The Respiratory Therapy Scholarship aims to support and encourage future healthcare professionals pursuing a career in respiratory therapy. 

The Respiratory Therapy program at Mid-State prepares students to employ scientific principles to identify, treat and prevent acute or chronic dysfunction of the cardiopulmonary system. Successful graduates work under medical direction in a variety of care settings. 

Students study airway management and life support, airway clearance therapies, pulmonary rehabilitation, medication administration and the use of therapeutic medical gasses. The program combines classroom instruction and clinical experience with actual patients and equipment at local hospitals and agencies.
