Purpose
Achieving a competitive MCAT score is difficult and is a common barrier that many Filipino premedical students face. As a vital part of the medical school application, MCAT prep courses and other study materials are used by most students to help them attain a higher score. However, it can be very expensive, and that’s where the PMAH Foundation can help. The MCAT Scholarship Program was created to help dedicated and determined Filipino premedical students with financial need by subsidizing part of their MCAT study material. By doing so, we hope this further strengthens their application and increases their chances of being accepted into medical school.
Scholarship
Three students will receive a $1,000 scholarship to go towards MCAT preparatory classes or other study material as outlined below. Students who possess strong college GPAs and are able to show service and leadership through their extracurricular activities are encouraged to apply.
