CHINESE AMERICAN PHYSICIANS SOCIETY

Scholarship Program for U.S. Medical Students


CAPS is offering scholarship(s) of $2000 to $5000 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, 345 Ninth St., Suite 204, Oakland, CA 94607-4206. Applications should be available at the student financial aid office of your medical school starting from January 1 each year. The 2010 scholarship application is no longer available. Please watch out for our 2011 applications in January 2011.
