Foundation Programs

In keeping with its vision and to provide donors (alumni, individuals, organizations) with a significant, meaningful and organized way to support UERMMMC and the community it serves, we developed the following programs together with the UERMMMC College of Medicine.

Any requests for modification of these existing programs or addition of future ones may be initiated by the medical school but must be approved by the Foundation before implementation in compliance with U.S. laws and regulations.

  1. Tuition Scholarships – for second, third and fourth year medical students
    • Gold - $2,000 a year
    • Silver - $1,000 a year
    • Bronze - $500 a year
  2. Financial Aid – updated on June 30, 2016
    • Criteria for the selection of scholarship recipients within each group will be provided in writing to the Committee on Scholarships and Academic Honors.
    • In any given academic year, no student may exceed one AFUSA scholarship.
    • AFUSA scholarship holders must inform the CSAH of any non-AFUSA scholarship awards from agencies and groups inside and outside the College of Medicine.
    • All AFUSA scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis and as early in the preceding school year as consistent with adequate safeguards to insure fairness.
    • Scholarship applications will normally arrive in the office of the Committee on Scholarship and Academic Honors, which will assess and select recipients for all AFUSA scholarships and awards.
    • Alumni and officers of AFUSA who receive inquiries directly, rather than through the Committee on Scholarships and Academic Honors, shall notify the Chairperson if an applicant appears to be a highly promising candidate who should be considered for scholarships.
    • The SFAC will submit timely annual budget proposal to the AFUSA Board of Trustees, which will recommend the amount and number of scholarship awards to the Dean of the College of Medicine.
    • All scholarship funds will be disbursed via the Dean of the College of Medicine who will notify the Committee on Scholarship and Academic Honors of all funded scholarship recipients.
