t is well worth your time to search for scholarships both before and after you enroll for medical school. There are many opportunities to receive special funding support. Eligibility requirements vary from scholarship to scholarship. For example, some rewards may be based on premedical status or your year in medical school, specialty choice, academic achievement, service obligation, or affiliation with a specific organization.

These opportunities can be applied toward a range of costs, from tuition to travel for special activities like conferences. Many family medicine conferences and meetings give students money to help them attend and broaden their professional experience.

Although not everyone qualifies for a large enough scholarship to cover the costs of medical school, there are likely several sources of funding that are available to support your interests. Smaller scholarships that offer a couple hundred dollars can especially add up over time if you apply to several. Anything that helps reduce your final student debt is very valuable because of the impact of interest capitalization.
