Description
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Foundation funds this scholarship through a partnership with the American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation, which administers it through its Physicians of Tomorrow program. The sleep medicine scholarship supports medical students interested in entering the field who maintain academic excellence and demonstrate financial need. It provides student support rather than funding a research study or separate project.
Physicians of Tomorrow provides tuition assistance and national recognition to future physicians. The broader program recognizes academic achievement, leadership, personal resilience, and commitment to service and improved patient and community outcomes. The sleep medicine opportunity connects this medical student support with the AASM Foundation’s commitment to championing a bright future in sleep health.
