TMA Diversity in Medicine Scholarship

the Texas Medical Association is able to award 16 (sixteen) $10,000 scholarships through the TMA Diversity in Medicine Scholarship for 2024 incoming medical students. Please note that the funds will be disbursed directly to the school in increments of $2,500 annually during the first four years of a student’s matriculation (to be split between fall and spring semesters evenly). These scholarships are made possible through generous donations solicited by the TMA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of TMA.

Applicant Requirements:
• Applicants must be African American, Hispanic/Latino, or Native American
• Students already attending medical school are not eligible
• Must be an incoming freshman at the school during Fall 2024
• One scholarship annually per Texas medical school (Should the recipient choose to matriculate elsewhere; they lose the scholarship and a new recipient is chosen.)
• Must complete an online application
• Provide confirmation that the student has accepted an offer for admission to a Texas medical school (attach letter or email copies)
• Write an essay, not to exceed 750 words, explaining how as a physician you would “improve the health of all Texans”
