William E. Dochterman Medical Student Scholarship Fund


A program of the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society's
Community Service, Education and Research Fund (CSERF)

Application Deadline: July 1


ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The William E. Dochterman Medical Student Scholarship Fund was originally made possible through surplus funds from services donated by local physicians participating in the Sabin Oral Polio Vaccine Clinics sponsored by the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society in 1963.

The late Mr. Docterman, the Society's Executive Director for 27 years, urged the Society to invest the vaccine proceeds in a bond dedicated to helping area residents finance their medical education.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
  1. You must have graduated from a high school in El Dorado, Sacramento or Yolo counties, although you do not have to be a current resident of these counties to apply.

  2. You must be enrolled in an accredited American medical school on a full-time basis (12 units or more). This grant does not apply to summer enrollment or to correspondence schools.
EVALUATION PROCEDURES
Applications are evaluated primarily on the basis of financial need and academic achievement. Financial data will be analyzed according to family/student resources and household size. Given limited funds, not all eligible applicants will be recipients.

GRANT CYCLE
July 1 of each year is the deadline for receipt of a completed application. Scholarships will be awarded in September of the current year.

HOW TO APPLY
Complete the downloaded application and mail it with all the required transcripts and letters of reference to the address above. Letters of reference and transcripts may be mailed separately, but must be received by the July 1 deadline. Incomplete applications will not be processed.
