The ElevateMeD Scholars program is a multifaceted program designed to develop the next generation of physician leaders.  In the inaugural year, ElevateMeD will competitively award $40,000 scholarships ($10,000 each year) to the ten most talented medical students from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine.

2026-27 ElevateMeD Scholarship Application Interest

Share the news! ElevateMeD will hold an open call for the 2026-27 ElevateMeD Scholars program.

Each selected ElevateMeD Scholar will be awarded a tuition-based scholarship as a medical student enrolled full-time at an accredited medical school. In addition to scholarship support, Scholars receive physician mentorship, leadership development opportunities, financial literacy, and access to ElevateMeD network support. They are invited to our annual Explosion of a Dream Scholars Summit, an all expenses paid internal conference, where they receive storytelling and public speaking coaching, financial literacy education and workshops tailored to their professional development.

Together we are…
Increasing representation in medicine.
Closing the gap of financial inequity in medical education.
Empowering the next generation of physician leaders.
