Lab Assistant - Medical Technologist Scholarship

Medical Technologist Scholarship

LabCorp is offering a Medical Technologist Scholarship to qualified candidates in the Tampa area who are interested in obtaining their Florida Technologist license. This unique opportunity will sponsor successful candidates through a NAACLS-accredited post-Baccalaureate program while they work as a Laboratory Assistant at our Tampa lab.

Candidates will be initially hired to work as a full-time Laboratory Assistant, then transition to a full-time, sponsored Medical Laboratory Science student with the opportunity to continue working full or part-time as a Laboratory Assistant. Once hired, candidates will need to apply and be accepted into the MLS program at Hillsborough Community College. Upon graduation from the MLS program and receiving their FL license, the candidate will be promoted into a Medical Technologist position. LabCorp will sponsor all costs related to tuition, university and lab fees, books, admissions, uniform and expenses related to certification exams and licensure.

The MLS Program runs from mid-August, 2023 until June, 2024 (10 months), followed by a 22-week clinical rotation covering various lab specialties. Upon successful completion in September, 2024 of all program elements, students will be eligible to become ASCP-certified as a medical laboratory scientist and obtain a Florida Technologist licensure.
