Latino Health Student Research Scholarship

The Latino Health Research Scholarship was developed in 2017 to support, encourage, and facilitate scholarly research and academic engagement by LMSA-West medical students. This scholarship provides students with an opportunity to fund their projects, prepare their research, and/or disseminate their work in the areas of Latino health and health disparities. The scholarship aims to promote the exchange of information related to Latino health and to increase the number of Latino students and Latino health-focused academic research. LMSA-West provides one scholarship recipient with a one-time research scholarship in the amount of $1,000 to support the development and dissemination of novel research in areas of Latino health and health disparities. Applicants must have a developed project in process with an assigned mentor, demonstrated financial need for funds, and must be committed to pursuing a career in medicine dedicated to serving Latino and underserved communities. This scholarship is sponsored by AltaMed.
