Description
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Foundation funds this scholarship in partnership with the American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation, which administers it through its Physicians of Tomorrow program. It provides tuition assistance to medical students interested in pursuing sleep medicine, supporting future physicians rather than a specific research study or project. Applicants must maintain academic excellence and demonstrate financial need.
The scholarship supports the AASM Foundation’s investment in sleep medicine career development and education. Its focus includes students interested in providing sleep care and advancing sleep science. Within the broader Physicians of Tomorrow program, the sleep medicine scholarship requires applicants to explain their interest in sleep medicine as a medical subspecialty in their application and personal statement.
