The University of New England is awarding $25,000 scholarships to 34 students in its College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The awards, part of the university’s Doctors for Maine’s Future Scholarship Program, are intended to help pay for the high cost of medical education and to encourage students to pursue careers in primary care, according to a release from Biddeford-based UNE.
The university instituted the program in 2009 to help increase the number of health care providers on Maine. The program, which requires a matching amount from private philanthropic sources, stipulates that recipients must gain experience in rural health care and primary care environments during their education. It is especially targeted toward supporting students with an interest in serving rural areas upon graduation.
