Medical Heritage Foundation
The mission of the Medical Heritage Foundation is to provide community education and ensure a sustainable pipeline of future physicians.
The Medical Heritage Foundation is a 501(c)(3) affiliate of the county medical society.
In keeping with its mission of supporting medical education, the Foundation has provided more than $40,000 in financial support to the medical community since its founding in 2007.

Deadline is December 15, 2023.
Applicants are required to submit a brief essay on why they should be awarded the scholarship, most recent transcripts and a letter of referral from their medical school.
Requirements:
-
Must be a current resident of and/or raised in Luzerne or Lackawanna County.
-
Must be a third-year student enrolled in a Doctor of Medicine or Osteopathy program.
-
