Medical Heritage Foundation

The mission of the Medical Heritage Foundation is to provide community education and ensure a sustainable pipeline of future physicians.

The Medical Heritage Foundation is a 501(c)(3) affiliate of the county medical society.

In keeping with its mission of supporting medical education, the Foundation has provided more than $40,000 in financial support to the medical community since its founding in 2007.  Grants have provided support for community medical education through an annual medical/legal seminar; for students to attend conferences that enable them to further their education, and meet colleagues and mentors; and, most significantly, for an annual scholarship award to a third-year medical student.

How to apply:

Deadline is October 31, 2023.  Applicants are required to submit a brief essay on why they should be awarded the scholarship, most recent transcripts and a letter of referral from their medical school.

 

Please send applications via this form.

Requirements:

  • Must be a current resident of and/or raised in Luzerne or Lackawanna County.

  • Must be a third-year student enrolled in a Doctor of Medicine or Osteopathy program.

  • Should be committed to practicing medicine in Northeast Pennsylvania.
