The Polish American Medical Society (PAMS) in Chicago is reminding Polish students that the deadline for submitting applications for the Annual Academic Scholarships is March 31, 2023.
PAMS awards over a dozen academic scholarships every year to students of Polish origin from the Chicago area who are studying medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine at universities in the USA or in Poland. Students are assessed on the basis of their academic performance (GPA over 3.0), achievements, interests, and participation in the Polish community.
Acquiring funds to finance these scholarships is the most important mission of the Polish American Medical Society. The main event organized for this purpose is the charity Physician’s Ball, which has been held every year for over 70 years! In recognition of this tradition, PAMS receives donations for the scholarship fund from businesses, organizations, and individual donors. Efforts to sustain this social activity rest on the shoulders of successive Presidents and the Board of Directors of PAMS.
Many former PAMS scholars are already specialists in various fields, they serve the Polish community, and are continually active in the initiatives of PAMS. There are many examples of joint activities of Polish doctors who provide reliable scientific information and medical care to our community.
We hope that the next students, who will receive scholarships from the Polish American Medical Society this year, will also cooperate with us, and be inspired by many years of PAMS successful activities and endeavors. Recently, the youth section – Junior PAMS has been formed within the structures of ZLP (Zwiazek Lekarzy Polskich w Chicago), which significantly mobilizes and facilitates the integration of students.
The deadline for scholarship applications submission is March 31, 2023.
