The Mercer Health Medical Staff Scholarship Committee will award $2,000 to a medical school student who has shown a strong connection to Mercer Health or the surrounding communities. The scholarship will be awarded for a one-year period and provided directly to the student. Applicants may submit each year of medical school and previous recipients are also eligible to apply. 

To apply for the scholarship, you must be a resident of the United States who is currently enrolled as a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th-year medical student in an accredited MD/DO school located in the United States.
