educational programs, leadership training, and funding for outstanding
fourth-year medical students for a four-year period. Students must make a
commitment to the specialty of family medicine. The funding program is designed
to reimburse a portion of medical school debt incurred by the student by the

interested in students who exhibit the highest levels of skill, compassion, and
leadership. A firm and continuing commitment to the specialty of family medicine
is an essential precedent for any applicant to receive a Pisacano Scholarship.

the level of medical-school-related debt, financial need is not a consideration.

Scholarship voluntarily fails to enter a residency in family medicine upon
completion of medical school or, having entered such residency, voluntarily
withdraws from it in order to enter the residency of another medical specialty,

monies it has paid to such recipient.
