Under-represented Student Scholarship

ARMC Emergency Department is proud to offer a scholarship available to rotating medical students from a community Under-Represented in Medicine (URM). Eligible EM specialty bound medical students must be from a US medical school, demonstrate a financial hardship, and be a member of an URM minority community. The scholarship is open to current MS4 applying for an EM rotation at ARMC now through December 2022, and MS3 applying for a rotation April through December 2023.

This scholarship offers reimbursement for travel and housing for a month-long rotation up to $2500 per student. Interested students may apply via email by submitting a one paragraph personal statement explaining why you are deserving. Please send the email to EMStudent@armc.sbcounty.gov with “scholarship application” in the subject line. You will be notified of our decision via email. The rotation will still be scheduled and processed by the normal VSLO/VSAS rotating student process.
