2011 College Of Medicine Scholarship – University Of Arizona – USA

University Of Arizona Announce College Of Medicine Scholarship  Provide A Resume For Medicine Students At USA In 2011

Scholarship Description:
If you are a new College of Medicine student, you will be asked to attach a narrative describing your professional and personal goals, how you became interested in medicine, activities demonstrating such qualities as leadership and social commitment, talents and interests outside the field of medicine, and any other information you think might be helpful for scholarship consideration.

Please have that document prepared so that you will be ready to attach it and submit the scholarship application electronically. If you are a continuing student, you have the option of listing extracurricular activities, honors and awards instead of attaching a narrative.You will be asked to supply your estimated costs for 2011-2012 (tuition and fees; books, supplies and medical equipment, laptop to College of Medicine specifications, living expenses, childcare, and miscellaneous) and Total Estimated Costs. Your estimated income will be requested (available savings/investments; part-time work; spouse’s net income if applicable; other family assistance expected).  Total your estimated income.  Take your estimated costs and subtract your total estimated income.  This equals the Total Financial Aid Needed.

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.

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 Scholarships and Financial Aid web page and utilize Scholarship Universe with your Net ID.

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.  If you have missed the deadline, keep it in mind for next year. 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 following information was taken directly from websites and other donor information. Check for updates, application deadlines, and further information. We suggest that you not be discouraged by the fact that many of these scholarships are specific to the interests of the donors and you may not qualify. Some of the UA College of Medicine students have successfully obtained scholarships from these outside donors and we list any scholarships we find that are open to medical students. We also occasionally send emails to the College of Medicine ListServ as well. Please read any email you receive from us!
