The fund is designed to provide undergraduate and graduate scholarships for Black, Latinx and indigenous students pursuing medical and health care careers.
Since 2020 has been a difficult year for many people, TikTok made a commitment to supporting the efforts of healthcare workers. Earlier in the year, TikTok donated $150 million through its Health Heroes Relief Fund. The Chinese-owned video-sharing social networking service donated $10 million to 10 different institutions that serve underrepresented students with programs focused on public health and professions in the medical and healthcare fields.
