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.

  • 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
