For more than 210 years, the University of Maryland School of Medicine has provided transformational education for thousands of aspiring medical professionals. Students from all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds create a rich, stimulating learning environment that better reflects the patient populations these future physicians will one day serve.
Scholarships are important resources that help us offset the high cost of education, keeping it affordable for all qualified students, regardless of background, who wish to pursue a career in medicine. However, in light of the increasing costs of medical education, additional resources are needed.
