Nominate a medical student who has an interest in family medicine and the potential for an academic career to be an STFM Foundation Student Scholar. Scholarship winners receive up to $500 to cover travel expenses to attend the STFM Conference on Medical Student Education, and free conference registration!
Thanks to generous support from donors to the Underrepresented in Medicine Campaign, the STFM Foundation is able to provide additional mentoring and scholarship opportunities to contribute to a diverse family medicine workforce. Additional dedicated funding is available for underrepresented in medicine students. The Association of American Medical Colleges defines underrepresented in medicine as: “those racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population.” Details
- Recipients will be named STFM Foundation Student Scholars and will present their posters at the STFM Conference on Medical Student Education.

- The student's nominating department or school will provide travel support up to $500 for each nominee.

STFM will provide that student with a free registration to the Conference on Medical Student Education. Target schools are defined as those that don't have a department of family medicine.
