Midwestern’s osteopathic medicine college establishes minority scholarship fund

Posted

The Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine  at Midwestern University, 19555 N. 59th Ave., Glendale, has established a new scholarship fund intended to foster student body diversity and extend opportunities for health care students from  minority groups.

The new Edna Dunning AZCOM Minority Scholarship Fund applies to first-year osteopathic medical students belonging to minority groups as defined by the Health Resources and Services Administration, including American Indian and Alaska Native communities, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders.

The sfunds will be awarded competitively to eligible students based on past academic performance; commitment to diversity, leadership and community service; and demonstrated financial need, with consideration to applicants who are first-generation college students.

“This scholarship fund is an important step in our ongoing pursuit of creating a vibrant and diverse student body,” Dean of the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine Lori Kemper stated in a news release. “These funds provide a stepping stone to health care careers for deserving minority students, as well as an investment in the health and well-being of their communities when they eventually begin practice.”
