Fuerza in Health Scholarship
There are many societal and systemic barriers that affect each individual’s level of access to the world of academia and higher education.
Financial resources play a large role in a student’s ability to attend college, with low-income students often struggling to come up with the funds they need. First-generation college students face similar challenges and often deal with financial strife due to having no family background in college.
This scholarship seeks to offset the cost of medical school so underserved students can overcome the barriers they face and complete their education.
Any first-generation, low-income graduate student in medical school who is an underrepresented minority and a resident of California or Illinois may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
