Beyond 2020 and Atlanta Reception Update

In order to support our Scholars beyond 2020, we need your help!

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the amount of student loan debt incurred by medical students has increased by 101% over the past 20 years. ElevateMeD exists to reduce the financial inequity in medical education by helping to decrease the loan burden that disproportionately impacts medical students from underrepresented backgrounds.  We have committed to giving $100,000 in scholarship support to medical students from underrepresented backgrounds in 2020 to be applied to tuition costs for the 2020-2021academic year. Thirty students from our 10 partner institutions are currently undergoing the application and selection process.  


In order to continue to support these students and more beyond 2021, we need your help.  We will have two fundraiser events in 2020.  Our Spring Fundraiser which was originally scheduled on April 18th, in Atlanta, GA, is now rescheduled to July 11 as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic.  Our Fall Event will take place September 26th in Scottsdale, AZ.  Click here to learn more about our program and how you can help support our efforts.
