Recently, with some other authors, I wrote the book, Medical School Scholarships, Grants & Awards: Insider Advice On How To Win Scholarships. Inside the book we've listed and described hundreds of scholarship opportunities for both osteopathic and allopathic students. We tried hard to categorize awards so that busy students can easily find opportunities that pertain to them. There are chapters for research, ethnicity, gender, state, leadership, writing, global health, and so on.
We even have chapters for each specialty. Let's say you're interested in Emergency Medicine, you can turn to the chapter on EM to learn all about scholarships, grants, and awards specific to EM. We've also profiled award recipients to show you how they did it.
Our goal in writing this book was to help students reduce the time spent searching for opportunities, provide strategy to maximize the chances of winning, and help build stronger credentials for the residency match.
One thing that really surprised us was how many award and scholarship opportunities are out there. We wish there were a lot more full-ride scholarships but even winning a $ 500 scholarship or award makes a difference.
