University of California San Francisco – Visiting Elective Scholarship

Deadline: September 1, 2018

The Visiting Elective Scholarship Program (VESP) is supported by the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine and by individual UCSF Departments. VESP was established to encourage fourth year medical students who are underrepresented in medicine (UIM) or are interested in working with underserved populations to apply for clinical electives in a number of different specialties at UCSF.  The program provides financial assistance to awardees.

The scholarship program provides up to $2,000 and is designed to:

• Expose fourth year medical students who are UIM or interested in working with underserved populations to our academic training programs
• Promote student interest in applying to UCSF residency training programs
• Provide faculty and house staff mentorship during the clinical elective experience
