Description:
Although The White Coat Investor has always been a for-profit business, its primary purpose is to “help those who wear the white coat get a fair shake.” The White Coat Investor Medical School Scholarship is a way for the entire WCI community to “pay it forward.” This community includes blog readers, podcast listeners, Facebook Group and WCI Forum members, WCI redditors, sponsors, staff, and owners.
The scholarship has no endowment fund so the scholarship money is raised anew every year. The purpose of the scholarship is to directly reduce the indebtedness of a few students and to promote financial literacy in professional schools.
This scholarship is open to full-time professional students who are in good academic standing. Eligible students must be studying:
- Medicine
- Osteopathy
- Podiatry
- Dentistry
- Law
- Pharmacy
- Optometry
- Physician Assistant
- Nurse Practitioner
- CRNA
- Veterinary Medicine
Physical therapy and occupational therapy students of programs that lead to a doctorate degree will also be considered
Requirements:
- No online schools (brick and mortar only).
- No undergraduates.
- No residents, even if you’re a dental resident paying tuition. Students only.
- Essay.
- Verified to be in good academic standing.
- Enrolled full-time in a professional school located in the United States for the 2024-2025 year.
