The AKUAANA-JRM Scholarship Fund is the result of a collaboration between AKUAANA and JRM (Jamshed-Rahim-Mannan) Foundation for Humanity, an Idaho based non-profit started by two AKU alumni, Dr. Fahim Rahim, ’97 and Dr. Naeem Rahim, ’98. We created this fund to provide financial relief for medical students pursuing electives in North America. You can find further details for eligibility for the scholarship here.
This year, the AKUAANA-JRM scholarship committee has decided to waive the requirement for an elective in an under-served area for the 2020 application because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Applicants can view a sample of the online application here. Please note that only submissions made via the online application portal for the AKUAANA-JRM Scholarship will be accepted.
This year, AKUAANA will be accepting applications from AKUMC Class of 2021 via our online application portal, which opened on August 10th, 2020. The deadline for submission will be 11:59 PM EST, September 30th, 2020.
