This is possible due to the partnership between UE and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Medical Professions Academy (MPA) have partnered for a new initiative to provide scholarships to MPA students, as well as integrate UE faculty and resources into the MPA program.
The partnership also will help increase the pool of qualified medical professionals in the area.
“This is such an exciting opportunity for us and our students,†said Andrew Freeman, MPA administrator, and Central High School assistant principal. “Being able to partner with such an esteemed university will not only provide our students with valuable knowledge, skills, and experiences, it also will provide them a way to help pay for their post-secondary education. With this partnership, we have the opportunity to make MPA an even better program, and provide more options for our graduates.â€
The EVSC created the Medical Professions Academy, housed at Central High School, is for high school students interested in pursuing careers in science, health care, and medicine. An integrated science, English, and technology curriculum, paired with hands-on learning and relevant internships and shadowing experiences, prepares students for post-secondary science, medical, and health profession majors.
Direct entry programs are also available for high school seniors in the athletic training, nursing, physical therapy, and physician assistant programs.

Through the partnership, students who successfully complete the MPA program and who are admitted to UE will be offered a minimum of $20,000 in annual scholarships. In addition, UE will provide faculty and resources that will help enhance the learning opportunities students receive through the program.

Indiana University women’s swimming and diving senior Lilly King was named the Big Ten Women’s Swimmer of the Week on Wednesday, the league office announced. King shared the weekly award with Beata Nelson of Wisconsin.
This past Wednesday, King helped the No. 6-ranked Hoosiers earn season-opening wins over No. 14 Kentucky, No. 15 Missouri and a tie against No. 18 Notre Dame.
The Evansville, Ind. native won both the 100 breaststroke (59.74) and 200 breaststroke (2:11.63) with NCAA B cut times. King, the three-time defending NCAA champion in both events, posted the fastest mark in the nation in the 100 breast.
King also helped the Hoosiers win the 200 medley relay at the season-opening quad meet with a time of 1:39.09.
The Hoosiers will be back in the pool on Oct. 19-20 when the teams head to Austin, Texas to face No. 8/19 Florida and No. 1/4 Texas in a two-day, tri-meet.
