Awards to Incoming Students
The UofSC School of Medicine Greenville offers a variety of scholarships to incoming M1 students through one standard scholarship application (be sure to check the Financial Aid Calendar for deadlines and more details). All applications for scholarship undergo a holistic review that focuses on four major areas: admission committee score, financial need, metrics, and distance travelled (the obstacles overcome and achievements made that bring a future student to this point in their career). It is possible for a student excelling in any of these areas to receive a scholarship of any level. Once reviewed, the Scholarship Committee will then rank all applicants; awards are made based on this ranking. Unless otherwise noted, students will receive these awards for four years so long as they progress with their class.
