The Chapter or Chapter Foundation responsible for administering the student externship is the entity that must complete and submit the application. Applications will not be accepted from medical schools or students.
The Chapter's or Chapter Foundation’s dollar-for-dollar match with the AAFP Foundation’s matching grant should be secured before submitting the application.
A confirmation e-mail will be sent back acknowledging receipt of the application. If you do not receive an e-mail confirmation within 48 hours, please call Rollie Brock at (800) 274-2237, ext. 6239, to verify that your application was received.
Each funding cycle the AAFP Foundation awards approximately 24 matching grants.Those who apply earlier have a better chance of receiving more than one matching grant.
The AAFP Foundation allocates Student Externship Matching Grant Awards sequentially, based upon the date and time that each application is received via email. First, one matching grant will be awarded to all applicants, if possible. Then, if additional fund are available, a second matching grant will be awarded based upon the sequence of submissions and whether more than one matching grant was requested. This process continues until all matching grant funding for the cycle has been awarded.
Recipients will receive a Notice of Award, via email, by the second Friday in February.
