Applications are now open for the Green Coat to White Coat Healthcare Leadership Academy!

Through this selective, seven-month leadership and career development experience, participating students will explore healthcare careers and college pathways, connect with healthcare professionals and mentors, build leadership and professional skills, and investigate healthcare challenges impacting rural Texas communities.

The Academy will combine monthly virtual learning experiences with two in-person experiences, giving students opportunities to learn alongside healthcare professionals, Texas A&M faculty and students, and other youth who share their interests. Virtual meetings will be held on the third Thursday of each month, with in-person experiences planned for March and June.

Who should apply?
The Academy is open to 10th–12th grade students who are curious about healthcare, interested in developing their leadership skills, and ready to explore how they can make a difference in the health of Texas communities. Applicants must be a current 4-H member, represent a rural Texas county and be able to commit to the full seven-month Academy.

Students do not need to know exactly which healthcare career they want to pursue—that’s what Green Coat to White Coat is here to help them explore!

Applications are due November 18, 2026.

Apply here:

Please share this opportunity with students, families, schools, county Extension programs, and others in your community who may be interested.

Please reach out to Dr. Gardner or Bailey Cassens [email protected] for any questions.

Nolan Laminack is a senior Animal Science major from Wall, TX and the son of Noble and Heather Laminack. Nolan discovered his passion for judging in 3rd grade when he joined 4-H. After competing through 4-H and FFA all the way through his senior year of high school he decided to continue judging at South Plains College in Levelland, Tx. After attaining an Agricultural Communications Associate Degree he decided to further his education and continue judging livestock at the premier Animal Science school in the country. After graduation, Nolan plans on staying in school working towards a Masters degree.

“I will forever be grateful for the opportunities and connections that both Livestock Judging and Texas A&M have given me. My peers, God, as well as past and previous coaches have helped guide and lead me into the man I am today and will become. They have taught me how to make the right decisions not just on the floor but in life as well. I am truly blessed to have this opportunity”
