Scholarship Search
“Scholarships are letters of recommendation.”
Premed of Color Community
Why spend the time looking and applying for Scholarships?
Look at it this way. It’s like having another letter of recommendation
on top of the 2 or 3 recommendations that medical schools want for your
application. If you are working hard and getting good grades, doing work
in the community, excelling in research, or writing poetry, scholarships
highlight your accomplishments and potential.

time you can reap the financial benefits. Basically, you get paid twice!
