My name is RUTH AKAN.Am a graduate of Zoology/enviromental biology. I couldn't study medicine because of insufficient funds. Right now,am so eager to study it and i need a scholarship grant. Here in NIGERIA,there aren't many good schools to study medicine. I wil be happy if am given the opportunity to study medicine in AMERICA.

I'm also praying for this medical scholarship to carry me through because this is a big problem in Africa,which have causes the death of most Africans of not having better doctors to take care of their essential health problem issues each day.

What ever happened to the NY State med school scholarship by competitive exam? In 1949 it paid $750 per year. At that time SUNY Brooklyn was charging $715/ year! The award wasgiven to 36 college seniors out of the ca 2000 that took the exam.

As a National Health Service Corps Scholarship recipient, I wanted to make an addition/clarification to the information about the NHSC.
While the loan repayment program is one option, there is also a scholarship option for those who begin medical school knowing that they want to become a primary care doctor, willing to serve in an underserved area for at least 2-4 years (depending on the length of their scholarship).
This scholarship is analogous to the Military scholarships. It pays for all of your medical school tuition, books, and fees during medical school. It also provides a monthly stipend of around 1,200 dollars.

Why is it that the basic opportunity for a young person to obtain a medical education is precluded by financial ability to go to school and not based on their desire and ability to become a caring and compassionate physician?

This was stressful: All of the hard work as an undergrad, countless hours of preparing for the mcat, graduating as one of 31 scholars at my university with over 40,000 students, Directed Individual Research study with two professors, and dedicating over 320 hours of my free time to community service.
I don't regret all the hard work I have put into becoming a physician because of my desire to help others.
This is what gets me: At this day and age, born and raised in America, it is sad that what worries me the most is not being able to pay for medical school.
