2021 Medical Student Scholarship Applications are open!

i4Kids and Dean Anantha Shekhar are pleased to offer $1000 scholarship awards to 2nd and 4th year Pitt medical students interested in pediatrics. Desiring to promote increased diversity in pediatric medicine and recognizing the extraordinary achievements of trailblazing students, we are especially interested in supporting students who are first-generation college graduates. Those who are not first-generation but have demonstrated financial need are still welcome to apply.

Awardees will be:

• offered mentorship opportunities with i4Kids faculty
• invited to i4Kids events including speaker series, networking opportunities and annual symposium
• receive information for new funding opportunities

This award is intended to address the additional financial burden of USMLE exam and test preparation fees, but the scholarship money has no restrictions and may be used as needed by the student.

Awardees will be selected by a selection panel composed of representatives in the School of Medicine Office of the Dean, Department of Pediatrics, and Admissions and Financial Aid.
