Peacock Foundation, Inc. Scholarship

The Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine Scholarship Program is pleased to offer the Peacock Foundation, Inc. Scholarship. The funds for these awards are made possible by the magnanimity of the Peacock Foundation, Inc., and the result of a grant initiative spearheaded by the HWCOM Development team in conjunction with the Office of Student Affairs. As the third Most Diverse Medical School among all U.S. medical schools (2021 U.S. News and World Report), the HWCOM consistently enrolls a high percentage of minority students that are traditionally underrepresented in medicine. Scholarships support the educational needs of our students, help make strides in easing their financial burden, and ensure that we are impacting our community’s healthcare needs. By providing an environment enhanced by diversity, clinical innovation and research, the HWCOM prepares socially accountable, community-based physicians, scientists, and health professionals who are uniquely qualified to transform the health of patients and communities.
