Scholars Program

The ElevateMeD Scholars program is a multifaceted program designed to develop the next generation of Black, Latinx, and Native American physician leaders. In the inaugural year (2020-2021 school year), ElevateMeD competitively awarded $100,000 in scholarships to the ten most talented medical students from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine.

About the ElevateMeD Scholars Program

Launched in 2020, the ElevateMeD Scholars Program is a multifaceted program designed to develop the next generation of physician leaders from African-American/Black, Latinx, and Native American backgrounds.  

Our program benefits: 

Each Scholar will be awarded a tuition-based scholarship as a medical student enrolled in one of our partner schools. In addition to scholarship support, Scholars will receive physician mentorship, leadership development opportunities, financial literacy, and access to peer network support.  They are invited to our annual Explosion of a Dream Scholars Summit where they receive professional headshots, public speaking coaching and workshops tailored to their professional development.

The ElevateMeD Scholars program is built on the following five pillars:

  • Scholarship

  • Mentorship

  • Leadership development

  • Financial literacy

  • Peer network
