Merit Scholarships are normally awarded to entering M.D. students recommended by the Admissions Committee.

Merit Scholarships for continuing M.D. students are awarded based on prior commitment to previous scholarship recipients, provided the student fulfills his/her end of the scholarship agreement.  The agreement regarding annual renewal of the scholarship is outlined in the scholarship letter.  Other students receiving Merit Scholarships are not guaranteed an annual renewal.  The renewal is based on available funds and other stipulations outlined by the Scholarship Committee.

Merit recipients are recommended by the Admissions Committee.  Other merit recipients are selected by the Scholarship Committee.
