Hi Jarumi!
First off, it is incredibly inspiring that you are pursuing a career in health from Andahuaylas. Living far from major cities like Lima absolutely does not have to limit your dreams. Digital learning and virtual volunteering have opened up the world, meaning you can study, make a real impact, and find financial support right from Apurimac.
Many global universities offer 100% online bachelor's degrees in health fields (like Health Sciences, Public Health, or Health Administration) and welcome international students. Note: You will want to verify specific international admissions and English proficiency requirements for each!
*The Open University (UK): A global pioneer in distance education offering accessible online degrees in Health Sciences.
*University of London Worldwide (UK): Offers highly respected health and social science degrees entirely online to students across the globe.
*University of Florida (UF Online - USA): Offers a flexible, fully online Bachelor of Science in Health Education & Behavior.

*Texas State University (USA): Provides an online B.S. in Health Sciences that allows you to highly customize your electives.
*University of Central Florida (UCF Online - USA): Offers online degrees in growing fields like Health Informatics and Health Services Administration.

*Purdue Global (USA): Offers a fully online B.S. in Health Science with multiple start dates throughout the year.
Where to Look for Scholarships
Because you are an international student studying remotely, your scholarship search strategy should be highly targeted to your background:
PRONABEC (Beca 18 / Beca Excelencia): Since you are in Peru, definitely look into the Peruvian government's scholarship programs. They offer robust financial support for young Peruvians with high academic standing to study at top national or international institutions.
Scholars4Dev (Scholarships for Development): A fantastic free database specifically dedicated to listing health and academic scholarships for students from developing countries.
UNICAF: An organization that provides significant scholarships (sometimes covering a large percentage of tuition) for international students to earn online degrees from partnered UK universities.
EducationUSA Peru: A free U.S. Department of State network. They offer excellent virtual advising to help Peruvian students find financial aid and navigate applications for U.S.-based online programs.
Hints for Finding Virtual Health Volunteer Opportunities
You do not need to be standing inside a big city hospital to gain valuable health experience. Here is how you can build your resume remotely:
Leverage your language skills: As a student in Peru, you speak Spanish and English (and perhaps Quechua!). Look into organizations like Translators Without Borders. You can volunteer remotely from your computer to translate essential public health documents or medical information for NGOs.
Explore Virtual Global Health Programs: Organizations like FIMRC (Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children) and United Planet offer virtual global health internships and "clinical observations." These allow you to connect directly with active healthcare projects and public health theory around the world via video.
Run Digital Health Campaigns Locally: Reach out to local clinics, NGOs, or regional health departments in Apurimac. Offer to volunteer by managing their social media to spread important public health awareness, such as hygiene practices, nutrition tips, or vaccination schedules.
