    Application Process & Deadline

    • For all awards except the Finkelstein and Clouser Awards, submit a completed MSR Student Award Application Coversheet, and a copy of your MSR proposal to Ed Ruth in the Office of Medical Education. Indicate the primary award for which you are applying.  In the event you want to be considered for more than one scholarship, please list them in order of preferences.
    • The deadline for all applications (except the Finkelstein) is 5 PM on March 27, 2009.


    Review Process
