2010 Health Policy Scholarship for General Surgeons
June 13–19, 2010
The American College of
Surgeons is offering two annual
scholarships to subsidize
attendance and participation
in the Executive Leadership
Program in Health Policy
and Management at Brandeis
University. The course takes
place June 13–19, 2010. The
awards are in the amount of
$8,000, to be used toward
the cost of tuition, travel,
housing, and subsistence during
the period of the course.
General policies covering the granting of the scholarships are:
- The awards are open to general surgeons who are members in good standing
of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). Applicants must be at least 30
years old, but under 60, on the date that the completed application is filed.
- The awards are to be used to support the recipient during the period of the scholarship. Indirect costs are not paid to
the recipient or to the recipient’s institution.
- Applications for these scholarships consist of the following items:
- One copy of the applicant’s current curriculum vitae
- One copy of a one-page essay, discussing why the
applicant wishes to receive the scholarship
- Application for these awards may be submitted even if comparable
application to other organizations has been made. If a recipient
accepts a similar scholarship from another agency or organization, the
scholarship will be withdrawn. It is the responsibility of the recipients
to notify the Scholarships Section of ACS of competing awards.
- The scholarships must be used in the year for which they
are designated. They cannot be postponed.
- The Scholars are required to provide one year’s health policy-related assistance
to the ACS, attending meetings, reviewing applications, etc., as requested.
- A brief report of the Scholars’ experiences and activities is due at the conclusion
