ELIGIBILITY
The scholarship targets students who are current juniors, seniors, or recent college graduates and who meet the following criteria:
- Juniors, seniors, or recent college graduates from U.S.-based colleges or universities.
- GPA of 3.5 or above.
- Demonstrated extracurricular activities, including leadership, clinical, and research activities, and/or significant family responsibilities.
- A strong desire to give back to the community.
- Underrepresented students are highly encouraged to apply.
- Demonstrated financial need, based on family income and/or previous financial aid eligibility.
- Applying to the 2024-2025 medical school application cycle.
The scholarship is offered to U.S. citizens because MedSchoolCoach is a US-based organization. There are fewer legal barriers when offering scholarships or giveaways in an organization’s home country. Opening this scholarship up internationally would mean navigating international laws that differ significantly across countries. Currently, the MedSchoolCoach legal team is not equipped to take on this challenge.
- Only one entry per person.
- The scholarship is not available to employees, officers, directors, or contractors of MedSchoolCoach or their immediate family members.
- Applicants must complete all steps of the application process to be considered.
APPLICATION DETAILS
The application includes: (1) basic personal and contact information and a short questionnaire; (2) submission of a resume; (3) a short essay (no more than 500 words); (4) two recommendations. The entirety of the application must be submitted through the application link. Applications submitted in parts to MedSchoolCoach emails will be considered incomplete.

All responses to the questionnaire must meet the following requirements:
- Written in English and free of grammatical errors.

Scholarship awardees will be chosen by a selection committee composed of MedSchoolCoach professionals.
