Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) Scholarship


The Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) Alumni Advisory Board is excited to announce the application opening for the Rubens J. Pamies Scholarship Fund! Four scholarships, in the amount of $500, will be awarded to alumni who participated in the MMEP, SMEP, SMDEP, or SHPEP program.  

The scholarship, conceived by program alumni, is designed to help scholars alleviate the costs associated with pursuing a career in the health professions.  The scholarship may be used to help pay for expenses such as test preparation courses (e.g. MCAT or DAT prep courses), application fees, test fees, and travel expenses for interviews. Ideal candidates will demonstrate a commitment to eliminating health disparities by providing patient-centered and culturally-sensitive heath care. The SHPEP alumni board members are dedicated to working with its fellow alumni to create a bright career pathway into the health professions.
