Scholarships For Medical and Dental Students
Fundraising scholarships for students in medical or dental school
Support Through Scholarships
We know that finances and time can be hard to come by during medical school of any kind. Our desire is for medical and dental students to come to understand how medical missions can be a part of God’s will for their lives and how they can help to relieve some of the financial barriers that might prevent this from happening.
That’s why we offer support raising scholarships to medical and dental students.

What Past Recipients Have To Say:
“Serving on a mission trip to Burkina Faso was an experience unlike any I’ve ever partaken in. It was exhilarating, humbling, rewarding, tiring even, and fun. During our four days of holding clinics—treating over 1800 people and helping well over 100 give their lives to Christ—I was amazed by
the large crowds of people who showed up to seek care and by the way we were greeted as we entered and departed every village. Though I knew to expect that, seeing it with my own eyes helped me truly realize how we, as Americans, are viewed by many people from developing nations and those less fortunate.”

“As I served in villages where people professed that they felt “forgotten”, I had the privilege of experiencing true gratitude and thankfulness. There were so many moments where I was reminded of what gratitude and thankfulness look like, but one particular moment stands out the most. On the last day of clinic in the villages, a female elder from one of the villages neighboring Atakassikoro sat across from me in seemingly good health. She had no complaints, a few achy bones here and there, but she just wanted to see the doctor. After we completed her exam, she looked me in my eyes, smiled, and in her native tongue she said, ‘thank you for the work you are doing; thank you for coming to see about us.’”
