Medical School Grants
The healthcare profession, as a whole, will be one of the fastest growing fields over the next 10 years. Employment is projected to increase by 22 percent during this period. The demand exists because of the aging population.
Many students are encouraged to pursue the medical field because the conditions are favorable for employment. Medical schools are responding in kind by increasing their acceptance rates based upon the projected increased demand. Physicians who are willing to work in rural or low income environments have an even greater chance of securing viable employment.
Becoming a Physician
Becoming a physician is not an easy task. Although medical schools are accepting more applicants to meet demands, acceptance into medical school is still competitive. The medical school student must commit themselves to 4 years of undergraduate work, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of residency depending upon the chosen medical discipline.
Physicians must be self-motivated, have a good bedside manner, work long hours under a significant amount of pressure, have emotional stability, and be able to make sound decisions under pressure. Because the job is demanding, the pay is also high to compensate for the grueling hours and pressure associated with the job.
According to a 2008 study, primary care physicians were able to obtain an average median income of $186,044. For those physicians practicing specialized medicine, the average median income was $339,738.
Medical Career Paths
The potential medical student can become either a Medical Doctor (M.D.) or a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). Most individuals are familiar with the responsibilities of a Medical Doctor; however, a growing number of individuals are learning more about the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). The Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) uses all other forms of medicine, but emphasizes the importance of preventative medicine, holistic healthcare, and the body’s musculoskeletal system. Doctor’s of Osteopathic Medicine can be found in general practices, internal medicine, or pediatrics.
Physicians are employed in several different specialty fields, such as family and general medicine, pediatrics, anesthesiology, obstetrics, surgery and psychiatry. Residency programs assist medical students in fine tuning and learning to practice professionally within their chosen field of study. As technology advances and consumer awareness increases, physicians will have to become even more astute to remain abreast of the changing times.
For a private four year college education, the student can expect to pay $20,000 per academic year. The average student will need assistance with the costs if they desire to attend school. Several scholarships and grants are available for students considering the medical field. Obtaining a scholarship or a grant is equally as competitive as getting into medical school. Therefore, the student should be prepared to present their best impression to the reviewing committee.
Grants Available to Medical School Students
Research Medical Student Grant
This particular grant was designed to encourage students who have interest in the field of radiology.
Medical students who currently have research experience in medical imaging will receive preference when applying. The recipient of the award will sharpen their skills in research, hypothesis testing, and objective definition. Recipients will also be expected to participate in a research project for 10 weeks. The research will be conducted under the guidance of an advisor.
The research can be integrated into the curriculum as a research elective or alternatively, may be conducted during personal time or while on summer vacation.
The student will be awarded $3,000 by the grant committee and $3,000 will be matched by the sponsoring department. The student will receive in total a $6,000 stipend. The funds may not be used for non-personnel research expenses.
Eligibility Requirements
The student must be a member of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) when the application is submitted. The applicant may apply as a Member-in-Training or a non-dues paying member. However, the advisor or co-investigator must be a member who pays dues.
- The prospective applicant must be registered as a full-time medical student at an accredited medical school in the North American continent.
- The research should be in one of the following fields of study: radiology, nuclear medicine, or oncology radiation. The research, however, does not have to occur in the same educational institution where the student is attending school.
- The applicant must not have a history of being a principal investigator or receiving a contract for $60,000 or more in a single year.
- The applicant may not be employed by a for-profit company in the radiology field.
- The applicant may not receive grants in successive years and may not submit more than one application to the RSNA Foundation per year.
- The applicant must not receive support from another source for the same project, unless one form of funding provides salary support and the other funding source provides non-personnel research expenses.
Application Process
Students interested in the grant and meet all the eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply using the Online Grant Application System. The deadline is February 1, 2010. A signed and dated copy should be received by the RSNA Foundation office no later than this date.
The National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (SMART)
The National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) Grant is accessible to undergraduate students within their third and fourth years of undergraduate studies. Often, medical students pursue undergraduate studies within the sciences or engineering prior to enrolling in a medical school. This grant will assist those students who are interested in the field of medicine, but need financial assistance at the undergraduate level.
Eligibility Requirements
The student should be enrolled in a program of study at least half time and be eligible for the Federal Pell Grant. The student must major in engineering, mathematics, technology, physical sciences, life sciences or computer sciences to be eligible for the scholarship. Students who are majoring in a critical foreign language or a liberal arts program are also eligible. However, this is a non-traditional route to medical school.
The student must maintain at least a 3.0 in the course work required for one of the aforementioned majors. The National SMART Grant award is a supplement to the student’s Pell Grant award. The student must also be a United States citizen or an eligible non-citizen.
The student majoring in biology will still be eligible to receive the National SMART Grant if the student is not taking any classes related to biology in a particular semester, if the classes are a requirement for the course of study.
The National SMART grant recipient will receive up to $4,000 for the third and fourth years of his or her program of study. The total amount received from the SMART grant and the Pell Grant may not exceed the total cost of the student’s attendance. The student’s grant may be reduced if the number of students eligible exceeds the budget allowance for the fiscal year.
Application Process and The Federal Pell Grant
To become eligible for the SMART Grant, the student must first apply for the Pell Grant. To begin the application for the Pell Grant, the student must prepare the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application will determine the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) for college. The EFC number will then be assigned to the application. The number will be based upon the amount that the prospective recipient has disclosed about the household financial information.
The receipt of the Pell Grant is dependent upon the EFC number, the student’s enrollment status (full time or part time), and the student’s participation in scholastic programs.
The Pell Grant is awarded primarily to families whose annual household incomes fall below $20,000 per year. Most private institutions have tuition costs of $20,000 per academic year, and public institutions are half that amount. Therefore, financial hardship is placed upon families who wish to pursue an academic education who earn less than $20,000 per year.
Pell Grant Awards
The Federal Pell Grant usually awards students about $4,000 per academic year. After the student becomes eligible for the Pell Grant, the student can apply for the SMART Grant online. The deadline for the FAFSA is June 30, 2010. State funds vary. Check the website to determine the specific deadlines for the state in which the applicant is applying.

Students who desire to complete their research requirements outside the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland are not eligible for this particular award. The applicant may only apply once and awards are not transferable.
Application Process
The application process should be a joint effort between the student and the supervisor. The proposed research project should be completed within the 8 week time frame. The student should be the primary investigator and not just help around the laboratory.
The application will be reviewed according to the candidate’s academic record and the research project idea submitted. Past recipients have studied in the field of biological sciences, pharmaceutical science, dentistry, optometry, veterinary sciences, sports sciences, and medical sciences. Students studying in the natural sciences or computer sciences are welcome to apply. However, the proposed research project should be within the biomedical research field.
Undergraduate students with no prior research experience will be given preference. Students are encouraged to conduct their research studies at a university that is different from the current university that they are attending.

Medical School Grants,
I have been accepted at Medix West school in Md. The reason I am going back to school is that my husband of 27 yrs passed away in Jan. 2011 and left very little money. I need to increase my income to care for my daughter and myself. I have been in child care for 15 yrs but it doesn’t pay my bills. I am 51 yrs old and have always loved caring for people. I have cared for my elderly aunt (terminally ill and end of death care) and worked for BARC (Baltimore Association of Retarded Citizens). I have had some experience with various types of care but want to learn the right ways to care for people. I would appriciate any financial help you can give me. Thank you
I am inquiring about some type of free financial help in regards to attempting to get my life back on track. I am a 36 year old male who has lost a lot and do my best to put my best foot each and every day. I have lost my grandmother, father, brother and a sister (which I was very close to them all), I have also suffered a very bad divorce of 15 years and within the that time help raised two that was not mine and just recently got one sent off to college in daytona. I have one of my my own who is 11 years old but it’s hard to stay positive when I’m around them considering that I’m unemployed and have health issues and at this time no insurance to cover any visits or meds. I was laid off of my job of 9 years with Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, Fl. on july 14th 2011, and i will tell you it has been hell on earth. I have a car which I have monthly payments of $526.00 each month, and it has been a struggle to think of where my next check or piece of change is going to come from just to keep me riding. I had to make some major changes to my life style right now, and considering that i’m trying to tend to my mother who is all I have left right now, I try my best to just make sure that i keep the car just to get her back and fourth to her appointments. I chuckle a few times throughout the day, just for the simple fact that i know it is going to get worse before it gets better. The divorce was a lesson learned, my ex really did a number on me, throughout our marraige and at the end left me holding the bag (which all of it was her doing). This was not meant to be a pity party, right now as i wait to hear back from jobs my best bet is to presue a career in the medical field which I have been in all my life (just about). I have already started the process on my end with the college here in Jacksonville, Fl. (FSCJ) for Radiography. I have already done my Financial Ad which I did not quilify for any free grant. For whatever reason any of this needs to be verified I am more then happy to provide whatever documation needed.
Thank You

Aloha,
I am an 18 year old female, from Hawaii. I am applying for any kind of financial help. I am going to be graduating Kauai High School in May of 2013 and I am looking forward to going to college where I want to study medicine. I am thinking about applying at Kauai Community College, even though the costs will be cheap, I will be the one in charge of paying for my tuition. I am a full time high school student and also a full time worker. I am looking for help because I can’t afford the costs of my school. I have risen myself since the age of 16 and I am now officially on my own, I do not have family to help pay for my college, so I have been raising money for college, but even that isn’t enough to have me start in August of 2013. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Pristine De Jesus
I am a 34 year female looking to go back to school to better myself for alot of diffrent reasons. I was raised in a children”s home due to my parents being depended on drugs and alcohol, before I went to the home I took care of my brothers and sisters at a young age. As I grew up to adulthood I refused to let my children go though what I had to go though. Well life suprises you… two children later and a broken ankle due to domestic volence, I refused to be a statistic. So I had to make some hard decissions, and now I am working 2 jobs just to make ends meet. I researched going back to school. I have finally decided on what I want to do as a career. I want to go back to for Mortuary Science. I want to be a sucess story and prove to myself and others that think I cant do it to do it. I dont want to get loans I want to try to get grants and pay for the rest myself. I am a hard worker and I have very good work ethics.
Now realizing how expensive school has become; Just simple things having transportation, supplies, and food to eat. After analyzing this few issues I’m in need of extra funds. There’ll always be people in need of keeping up with health that’s the reason why I’ve chosen medical as a career. Pharmacy Technician, an place in medical health that continues helping people after the doctor has diagnoses the problem. By having this grant I can go forward in having the promising career in Medical field.
To Whom This may concern: Thank you

This may sound ridiculous, but I am a 49 year old man looking to return to school. I already have a great education and a great growing new career. However, my first love has always been medicine. I have Post 9/11 G.I. Bill (which will cover 80% of my tuition). I have a family,, and have discussed my desires and they support me. My goal is to be a primary care Podiatrist caring for the general population. What I need is to fill the 20% tuition and other costs associated with school. I also need to take care of my family’s housing, food and living expenses. I don’t want to be the multi-millionaire Hollywood dude that burns more money in their fireplace than they actually spend. My desire is the prevention of foot disorders and disease that are precursors to other life threatening conditions. I don’t need a long drawn out residency. Just a clerkship and a year or two of post graduate experience to qualify me to practice. I’ve served my country for over twenty-one years, now I want to serve her people, particularly veterans. Thank you.

I am inquiring about any charitable trusts or any available type of financial assistance in an attempt to stay on track in medical school. I’m an American student studying medicine as a second degree. I am a MD-1 (first year medical student) attending a Caribbean medical school. I have chosen to study medicine as a second degree, I want to teach and practice medicine while continuing my biomedical research. I have completed my PhD in Public Health (where I published research as a co-investigator in: RNAi Regulation of Autologous Stem Cells and Prospect for Biomedical Informatics Therapeutic Development; MicroRNAs in Cell Proliferation, Cell Death, and Tumorgenesis; Internet APRS Data Utilization for Bio surveillance Applications; and Plasticity in the Transdifferentiation of Stem Cells; and Development of a Multi-organ Rodent Model for Assessment of the Efficacy of Chemopreventive Agents [references available upon request]). I have numerous presentations, workshops and publishable manuscripts, and build up relevant work experience which all my experiences have been very rewarding.
As graduate medical students there are serious financial considerations to take into account, I have to make a significant contribution to the funding of my medical training (in which as a medical student and on an academic visa, I am unable to work). As a graduate-medical student in the Caribbean, I am not entitled to any government maintenance grant or a tuition/fee loan for my medical education, although I am eligible for US student loans. This means that as a graduate medical student I have to make my own arrangements to finance my tuition fees and maintenance costs for these years of medical training.
After graduation, I will have the skills to help those in need, and make a real difference in people’s lives practicing translational and regenerative medicine. For whatever reason any of this needs to be verified I am more than happy to provide whatever documentation needed.
Dear Sirs/Madam,
My name is Deshannae Edwards. I am eighteen years of age. I am a Black Jamaican National. I heard about this Medical Grant programme via a U.S citizen who gave me advice about taking the next step towards my future.
I am of a very poor back ground and often times loan have to be taken out in order to keep me in school. I am very determined and dedicated towards achieving my aspiration of becoming an E.R Physician. My inspiration came from my passion for people and my heart felt and sincere love for my fellow man`s health and well being.
I am asking for information on how I can benefit from this initiative. I am not a U.S citizen but I do have some one that lives overseas that would be my care giver and financial guarantor . Her name is Susan Mincey and she lives in Jacksonville Florida.
Please send a response to this message as I will be very much appreciative of your support and assistance in helping me to take the next step to be closer to my dream.
Your Sincerely,
Deshannae Edwards

PLANE CRASH SURVIVOR After the crash and 3-year series of 16 orthopedic operations to rebuild my legs (while also recovering from TBI), I earned three degrees. Now I have been accepted in an interntaional medical school and I need funding of any kind! Where can I apply for a private grant or loan?
Hello,
My wife and I are both accepted to study medicine in the Caribbean. We have spent some time working as missionaries in Africa and Asia before coming back to the United States. We started working as missionaries in rural America and had first-hand experience with how dire the shortage of primary care physicians in rural United States is! We had to travel 20 miles to see our son’s primary doctor, and the average waiting time was unbelievably long. We never thought the United States would ever come to a point where finding a primary physicians took a lot of footwork. Rural America is not well-served, and the prospects for the future are gloomier.
As missionaries to rural America, we decided to do something about it and resolved going to medical school. Our plan is to work as missionaries while serving the community as primary care physicians. While we have been accepted to start this fall, getting funding has been a battle. We chose a reputable Caribbean medical school with lower tuition fee, but our projected funding source has been altered due to some unavoidable inconveniences.
We are looking for sponsorship, be it individual or even a rural hospital that would like to help us go through the MD program and serve at the hospital. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Please come on board and let’s help serve rural America. We are naturally passionate about helping others. This is shown in our past missionary work teaching to support ourselves while assisting the local people with employable skills. We are both U.S citizens.

Hi, I am a Canadian citizen and I will be attending a Caribbean medical school in September of 2017. However, my financial situation does not necessarily allow for my dream.
