Medical Student Scholarships

The Medical Alumni Foundation presents over 100 scholarships and awards each year to current Norton College of Medicine students who qualify based on individual scholarship criteria.    

Applications for this year's scholarships are now open! See a list of Available Scholarships for 2023.  You can search for available scholarships based on your specific criteria using our Scholarship Search Tool.  Don't forget to check out the Frequently Asked Questions page for answers to common questions.  

Before you fill out applications for individual scholarships, you must submit a Scholarship General Information Form.  This form allows you to submit your personal information, CV, and optional financial need statement in one convenient place before you apply for the scholarships you're interested in.  The General Information Form is required in order for you to be considered for any scholarships, so be sure to complete it before the application deadline. (Please note that if you applied for scholarships last year, you must submit a new form for 2023.)
