Some students may be eligible to receive paid tuition, paid mandatory fees and a monthly stipend of $950 through the Medical Student Scholarship Program. In order to be considered, one must be enrolled at an approved allopathic or osteopathic medical school in Illinois, and agree to work in an identified physician-shortage area in Illinois for one year for each year of assistance received through this program. Recipients must also be Illinois residents, demonstrate financial need, and be committed to primary care. The application deadline is May 15 for each upcoming academic year. This program is administered by the Illinois Department of Public Heath.
