Veriheal remains the #1 source for medical cannabis cards nationwide. On their mission to help patients access the care and medicine they deserve, the company is extending that support to students in financial need.

On a broader scale, Veriheal deeply values education. They take pride in making the medical cannabis process effortless by connecting applicants to licensed medical doctors in their state for approval. Beyond that, their platform is jam-packed with educational resources, like their newest industry report: Cannabis Statistics 2023.

In terms of higher education, Veriheal understands that it costs a pretty penny. More specifically, it often leaves students racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. Everything from books, housing, and food is costly, so Veriheal is committed to help lighten the load

Enter Veriheal’s Innovation in Cannabis Scholarship. In 2022, the company granted $5,000 scholarships to 5 individuals who are:

• Currently current college students
• Recent high school graduates
• High school seniors starting college classes early in the United States

In 2023, Veriheal upped the scholarship to a generous $10,000 for 3 students – the brand’s biggest scholarship yet!

We’re thrilled to announce the winners in 2023. See Veriheal’s selections below:

1. Quemarr Moatamedi – University of Montana
2. Maya Woods-Arthur – Harvard University
3. Jensyn Huynh – Texas A&M University

After much consideration, Veriheal made its decision based on which students exemplified a combination of knowledge and passion for:

• Sustainability
• Community
• Awareness
• And innovation for the future of cannabis as an industry and medical medium.

The applicants were asked to write a 1000-word minimum, forward-thinking essay that highlights:

• How to enhance the cannabis space
• Demonstrating creativity and sustainability
• A vision for the future

In the words of Joshua Green, co-founder of Veriheal, “The high number of submissions and the exceptional quality of ideas this year speaks volumes about the passion and vision of the next generation of cannabis leaders.”

He added, “We’re thrilled to support and empower the minds and futures of those who will undoubtedly shape the industry.”

Herb is delighted to share Veriheal’s efforts in supporting higher education and shaping the future generation of cannabis leaders. A big congrats to the three winners, and best of luck in your ventures.
