Annual matching grants awards of $1,250 per externship are available only to AAFP Constituent Chapters or Chapter Foundations. The goal of the Student Externship Matching Grant Program is to stimulate interest among medical students to select a career and/or pursue research opportunities in Family Medicine. Eligibility and program requirements are outlined in the Student Externship Matching Grant Program Fact Sheet.
Student Externship Matching Grants
TO APPLY
The application process for 2010 is now closed.
The Letter of Intent (LOI) for 2011 will be available on this Web site in November 2010. The Chapter or Chapter Foundation administering the externship needs to complete and submit the LOI. Matching grants are allocated in the order that LOI's are recieved, so there is an advantage to submitting early (see Fact Sheet).
TO RECEIVE PAYMENT
Those who received a matching grant award in 2010 must submit the 2010 Disbursement of Funds Request (1-page Word file; About Downloading) by midnight December 1, 2010 to receive payment. Disbursement of Funds Requests can be submitted as soon as the externship has been established.
