(8-26-25) Applications for the 2025 Mercer Health Medical Student Scholarship will be accepted from September 1 through October 1, 2025. The Mercer Health Medical Staff Scholarship Committee will award $2,000 to a medical student who has demonstrated a strong connection to Mercer Health or the surrounding communities. The scholarship is awarded for a one-year period and provided directly to the student.
Eligible applicants may apply during any year of medical school, and previous recipients are welcome to reapply.
To qualify, applicants must:
* Be a U.S. resident currently enrolled as a 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, or 4th-year medical student at an accredited MD or DO program in the United States.
* Either be a resident of Mercer County or one of its adjacent counties for at least 12 months prior to beginning medical school, or have completed a rotation at Mercer Health.
The Mercer Health Medical Student Scholarship Program was established in 2020 by the Medical Staff of Mercer Health to support medical students with ties to the region and to Mercer Health through financial assistance.
“This scholarship was created to support the next generation of physicians who understand the value of community-based care,” said a member of the Mercer Health Medical Staff Scholarship Committee. “Let’s continue investing in the future of compassionate care-right here at home.”
