Current applicants are accepted to Texas medical schools beginning Fall 2024.

These $10,000 scholarships are for minorities underrepresented in Texas medical schools and the state’s physician workforce.

• Applicants must be a U.S. citizen and must identify themselves as African-American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, or Native American (including American Indian/Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander).
• Students already attending medical school are not eligible. (Incoming MS1 only.)
• One scholarship annually per Texas medical school.
• Must complete an application.
• Provide a letter of acceptance.
• Write an essay, not to exceed 750 words, explaining how as a physician you would “improve the health of all Texans”.
• This scholarship is per school and does not transfer with a student should they decide to matriculate elsewhere.
• Funds will be disbursed directly to the school in increments of $2,500 annually during the first four consecutive years of a student's matriculation. Students who withdraw or take leaves of absence will automatically forfeit the remainder of their disbursement.
• TMA’s 2024 Diversity in Medicine Scholarship Program is funded by TMA Foundation with generous support from its Bayardo Trust and Patrick Y. Leung, MD, Endowment and annual gifts from H-E-B, Baldemar Covarrubias, MD, TMA county medical societies and gifts from physicians and their families.
