CAPS is offering scholarships of $2000 to $4000 each annually to students in United States medical schools. The CAPS Scholarships are open to all medical students in need of financial aid regardless of their hometown, sex, race or color. The applicants are judged according to their academic achievements, financial needs, community service records and essays. Special credit is also given to those who are willing to serve the Chinese communities after their graduation. The deadline for submitting the completed applications is usually at the end of February. Due to the huge number of requests for applications and our shortage of manpower, we can no longer send out the application by mail unless a self-addressed stamped envelope is enclosed with the request sent to Lawrence Ng, M.D., Chair, Award Committee, Chinese American Physicians Society, 101 Callan Avenue, Suite 401, San Leandro, CA 94577. Applications should be available at the student financial aid office of your medical school starting from January 1 each year. The 2012 scholarship applications are now available for downloading.
