Since 1973, the society has awarded 3 to 5 scholarships a year to medical and/or dental students and scientists. The funds come from contributions and from the fundraising dinners. Starting in 1989, an Esther Lim Memorial Scholarship was established, the result of a bequest by Dr. Lim, a late member of the Society, and her family. In 1996, a Ruth Liu Memorial Scholarship was added by Dr. George Liu and friends to honor Dr. Liu's late wife. A third named Scholarship, The American Center for Chinese Medical Sciences Scholarship, was donated by the American Center for Chinese Medical Sciences, based at Washington, D.C., upon the dissolution of the organization, in 2004.
To be eligible to apply, you must be a first, second, or third year medical or dental student at a U. S. medical or dental school. Two slots will be for students who show merits and also financial hardship. To apply for this category, you must include a letter stating your financial problems and a letter from your dean or teacher to corroborate your claim.
