Hi Everyone,
I am a foreign student (CDN) thinking of starting an MD/PhD program in the US (2 acceptances thus far!). I know many of them encourage students to apply for fellowships (additional to MSTP), as there is a strong financial incentive and it is good for developing grant writing skills.
So far, the only fellowships for MD/PhDs in the U.S. seem to be for citizens and permanent residents (looking at the F30). I totally understand this preferential funding.
To any internationals pursuing an MD/PhD in the U.S. though : Have your program directors/administrators told you about any fellowships that we ARE eligible for?
I'm certainly not ungrateful for the financial aid already given - just wanted a fellowship as a career building platform.
Thanks!
