Any med students looking for scholarships, this one has no strings attached. You win, you get a check. This site will not let me post the link, so you can search for thewhitecoatinvestor 2018 wci scholarship
The prior winning essays are on the site. This is a financial help blog for physicians, so an essay with financial leanings would be best. Also a great website to learn about finances early in your career.
From the website:
The prizes this year will be as follows
Grand Prize: 60% of the cash pot, plus choice of online course
Eligibility
Only professional students enrolled full-time for the 2018-2019 year and in good academic standing are eligible (yes, we actually call your school and check.) That means medicine, osteopathy, podiatry, dentistry, law, pharmacy, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, optometry etc. No undergraduates. No residents. Even if you’re a dental resident paying tuition. Sorry. Students only. You do not need to be a US resident or even be attending a school in the US, but you MUST HAVE A US SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. As we are not a registered charity, the winners of the top three prizes will be required to fill out a W9 before receiving their money and we will issue them a 1099 and report the income to the IRS. Consider it to be fully taxable income. The good news is your tax bracket is almost surely dramatically lower than ours, allowing us to give more and you to receive more on an after-tax basis.
