So guys... Trying to prepare for Med School. As I look at these scholarships that are available, I noticed most of them are only for 500-2k. So are people really just trying to get as many of these smaller scholarships as they can or are there better ones out there. I'm really not even finding many that I can apply for being done with high school and undergrad. Anybody can help me with this ?

Second the first commenter. There are things like the Tylenol Scholarship (but even that is only $10,000 1 time, so not like it's going to pay for medical school), the Soros Fellowship (something like $90,000, but you need to be first generation born in the US I believe), and the Truman Scholarship ($30,000 for graduate school, but you had to apply your Junior year of college), but they are few and far between.
Your best bet is getting a scholarship from the medical school itself (CCLCM, University of Chicago, and several others are known to be particularly generous, but they are the exception not the rule). Considering how rare those are says something in and of itself; that is, medical school is expensive and there isn't that much non-loan support available to ease the burden for most.
