The Cook County Physicians’ Association (CCPA) is proud to announce its 2026 Scholarship opportunity for medical students. First through fourth-year students are eligible and encouraged to apply—please note that previous recipients are not eligible.

Medical student applicants must be enrolled at one of the following Chicagoland Medical Schools:
1. University of Chicago
2. Rush University
3. Northwestern University
4. Loyola University
5. University of Illinois at Chicago
6. Chicago Medical School (CMS) at Rosalind Franklin University

This scholarship recognizes medical students who have demonstrated leadership, a commitment to social justice, and efforts to advance health equity in the African-American community.

 
Thank you so much for sharing! How much financial support does the scholarship offer? I have had trouble finding that information.
 
Great opportunity for students in the pipeline. For anyone navigating medical school financing, it's worth pairing scholarship research with repayment planning early — the new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) starts July 1, 2026 and changes the income-driven repayment math significantly for med school borrowers. Tools like RAPlan let you model your post-residency payment under RAP vs. IBR before you commit to a loan strategy.
