Scholarship Resume and References

 

Various donors ask for you to provide a resume or, as part of the application, to describe your personal and professional goals, achievements, honors and extracurricular activities. We suggest letting your personality shine through as you describe how you became interested in medicine and let the reader have a glimpse of what you are like as a person in describing your background and goals.    Reference letters may be a deciding factor with some applications.

 

 

Researching Scholarships

Using the Internet

Scholarship searches were never as easy thanks to the internet.  DO NOT PAY for scholarship searches or offers to find aid. If they want money from you, it's probably a scam. DO keep an eye on the Scholarship Information on the UA Office of Student Financial Aid Web Page.

 

Other Resources

You may also want to contact clubs and organizations with which you and your family are affiliated. Social service organizations, veterans associations, churches and corporations are all possible scholarship sponsors. You may find additional information and scholarship opportunities there.

 

 

Scholarship Donors

 

Listed below is an alphabetical list of possible scholarship donors you might want to contact if you meet their criteria.  The list may also give you ideas for other organizations to contact.  If the application is not available on the web, we suggest sending a stamped self-addressed envelope with your request  for an application.

The Pisacano Leadership Foundation (PLF) seeks to advance the field of primary care by providing well-educated, community-minded leaders in the primary care movement. 

 

The Pisacano Scholars Leadership Program provides 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 conclusion of the required three-year residency. The Foundation is especially 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. 

 

Although the scholarships are intended to reduce the level of medical-school-related debt, financial need is not a consideration. The maximum scholarship award is $28,000. 

 

In the event any recipient of a Pisacano 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, the Foundation reserves the right to require repayment, in whole or part, of any monies it has paid to such recipient.

 

All parts of the application (completed application, topical essay, scores, transcripts, statements/recommendations) must be RECEIVED in the Pisacano Leadership Foundation office by MARCH 1, 2008.
