Pisacano Scholars Leadership Program

Amount: Up to $7,000 a year for four years ($28,000 maximum)

The Pisacano Scholars Leadership Program provides educational programs, leadership training and funding for outstanding medical students for a four-year period beginning in the the final year of medical school and through three years of residency training in Family Medicine. The Foundation is especially interested in students who exhibit the highest levels of commitment, skill, compassion and leadership. Although the scholarships are intended to reduce the level of medical-school-related debt, financial need is not a consideration.

Eligibility

• Only applicants who will be entering their fourth year (full-time), in the Fall, in a U.S. medical school will be considered.  Applicants must have declared family medicine as their specialty. 
• Applicants will be judged on commitment to family medicine, leadership qualities, academic performance, interpersonal skills, communication skills, and involvement in serving others. 
• The Foundation Board requires each applicant to complete an interview with a local family physician.

Notification of award decisions will be in October

Deadline is typically at the beginning of May
