Apply by April 30 for Oweida Rural/Small Community Scholarships

ACS Fellows and Associate Fellows are encouraged to take advantage of scholarships offered to those serving rural or small communities in the US or Canada.

The Nizar N. Oweida, MD, FACS, Scholarship program annually offers up to three awards of $5,000 each. Awardees can either use the funds to attend Clinical Congress or may propose a plan for additional training or research appropriate to a rural surgeon. 

Applicants pursuing non-Clinical Congress opportunities must provide information regarding their work setting, including their hospital and the patients they see, as well as their participation in quality improvement activities in this setting. They also must indicate their career goals and how they plan to transfer their newly acquired learning to their current situation.

The deadline to apply for a 2024 Oweida scholarship is Tuesday, April 30.
