UVM’s Post-Bacc PreMed Program offers scholarships

A note from Polly Allen, the Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program Director at UVM:

We are busy processing applicants for the UVM Post-Baccalaureate Premedical program since out biggest review of the year comes with our March 15th deadline for summer and fall term applicants. If you have any current students or alumni interested, please encourage them to contact us or to visit our web site: www.learn.uvm.edu/premed

Our news is that we will reserve 25 SCHOLARSHIPS for students who start with summer term 2013. Summer is ideal for students who want to complete the program in one year and apply early in the cycle. Since federal loans are limited, we hope this will help students manage their expenses.
