Medical and Dental Student Scholarship
The San Francisco-based French-American Foundation for Medical Research and Education is planning on May 9, 2012 to award a limited number of scholarships to medical and dental students, to support costs for tuition, books and related education expenses.
Applicants who ultimately are selected for a scholarship award are expected to attend the annual scholarship award dinner in San Francisco. Notice of the award will be given at least three weeks in advance so as to avoid a conflict in schedule. If the applicant decides not to attend, he/she will forfeit the award. Exception may be made in the event of highly extenuating circumstances.
The scholarship amount will be determined by the Board of Directors on a yearly basis and will not exceed $5,000. The scholarship is not a loan and does not have to be repaid. The scholarships are open to students enrolled and in good standing in the medical and dental schools of the San Francisco Bay Area and who have not previously been awarded a scholarship from the Foundation. There are no other restrictions.
Interested students should apply online only. A curriculum vitae should be submitted, plus a letter summarizing the individual's achievements, goals, and financial status. The scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of financial need, achievement and promise. It would be helpful, though not obligatory, to include the student's ethnicity, since the Foundation is interested in the diversity of the application pool.
The online application form is available here
Applications must be received by April 2, 2012. Applications received after that date will not be considered.
