The Issue
Growing up Black in America often comes with various challenges. Our communities experience disparities from birth in the areas of health, education, access to vital resources, and employment to name the least. This disparity is very apparent in the medical field. Out of all the physicians in the U.S., a mere 5% identify as African-American or Black. It is our duty as physicians to actively work towards increasing this number. It is well-known that several underrepresented minority students do not have the luxury of preparing for medical school with the same resources, guidance or support as their non-minority counterparts.
Our Goal
The M3 Scholarship was designed to alleviate the financial burdens associated with the application process while encouraging minority pre-medical students to continue striving towards a career in medicine. The scholarship recipient will be selected by a committee of resident physicians after completing all requirements of the application process. The recipient will also be connected with medical student and physician mentors based on specialty interest and other commonalities.
-A letter from our 2021-22 M3 Scholarship Recipient:
“I am very honored to have been selected as the recipient of the 2021 M3 Scholarship. With your support, I have been relieved of the financial burden of the MCAT and medical school application. I’m also grateful to receive mentorship from the M3 team. I feel prepared to tackle the application season because of their encouragement and support. I am excited to embark on this journey to become a physician. As a future physician, I hope to serve the U.S and global underserved populations. Thank you for supporting my dream.”
