This funding opportunity recognizes students dedicated to advancing compassionate end-of-life care and pain management. Awarded through the Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, this scholarship aims to encourage and support the next generation of palliative care physicians. The award amount varies based on available funds and the number of qualified applicants.
