The Spirit of EAGLES set up the Hampton Scholars program in 2001. This Scholarship program honors Dr. James Hampton (Chickasaw/Choctaw) who was the very first Native American medical oncologist. Hampton Scholars are selected competitively to identify students who are in the biologic, medical or social sciences who are dedicated to the use of knowledge to alleviate suffering and promote good health for all people and to assist and sustain the highest possible service to the health issues and conditions of Native peoples.
