About our Founders:
Did you know…
Tuition is now at $17,000 per year for each student?
Anticipated cost for each year totals $37,000 or more?
Starting salaries are not keeping pace with other expenses for early career physicians?
You now have a chance to impact the life of one of 80 Brody Students! Pitt County Medical Society is launching the PCMS Promising Student Scholarship, first award scheduled for Fall 2014! Because this fund will be managed by Brody’s Health Sciences Foundation, we can be assured that the candidates will be screened for financial need and academic achievement.
As a result of the Welcome Dinner attendees’ participation, we already have the minimum needed for a $10,000 total scholarship, dispersed over four years. If this student takes the maximum amount of time to pay for student loans, the total impact to the student is well over $25,000!
Won’t you help ease the financial burden of medical school? The 2014 PCMS Board of Directors is challenging you to make a difference with a generous gift to the PCMS Scholarship Fund before the end of the calendar year! “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something!” Be a part of something big, and donate today.
