Class of 2021
I am grateful to be a recipient of the TMA 50-Year Club Scholarship. As a lifelong Texan, I am dedicated to improving the lives and health of the most vulnerable members of our communities. My passion for health equity and for helping patients achieve their desired health outcomes led me to pursue a master's of science in Health Care Transformation. Now, in my fourth year of medical school, I am applying to obstetrics and gynecology residency programs across the country. Your support will help offset the costs associated with the interview process and get me closer to my dream of becoming an OB-Gyn.

Class of 2022
I am a third-year medical student planning to pursue dermatology. Thank you for selecting me to receive the 50-Year Club scholarship. I am relying almost exclusively on student loans to fund my education, and this will help reduce my already high student loan burden. Medical school is a rewarding, but challenging endeavor, and having to worry less about debt is relieving. In addition, I am involved in palliative care research, vaccine hesitancy research, the American Medical Association, and TMA, and there are related advocacy and research conferences coming up this year (COVID-permitting) that this award will help me attend.

Thank you for awarding me this generous scholarship. I am a second-year medical student hoping to go into the surgical field, and I plan on using this award to help subsidize NBME STEP-1 study materials during these next few months prior to my exam. This opportunity will help me prepare to make a competitive score on my board exam and bring me closer to matching at a great residency program in my future! Thank you again for helping me get one more step ahead to reach my professional goals.
