If I were you, I’d apply for the Gates Millenium Scholarship, NSA Stokes Scholarship, SMART DoD scholarship, consider JHU’s Army ROTC scholarship (I’m actually in ROTC right now).

Each scholarships pays full tuition scholarship. The Johns Hopkins ROTC battalion is great. Among the top 3 ROTC programs in the nation, they offer you terrific training and for those who are interested, they also pay full tuition for medical school as well. I plan to serve as a doctor in the army, I hope to use ROTC to pay for my Hopkins tuition and medical school bill as well. You just gotta find ways to pay for whatever situation you are in. I’m sure I am happy with the decision that I made.

Look into those scholarships, See which one is right for you. I’m in the same boat. I can barely afford it, I’m constantly looking out ways to supplement financing my education and I feel terrible that my parents hae to fit the bill until I graduate from medical school.

I highly recommend looking into the SMART DoD scholarship. Annual stipend of 22,000 each year PLUS full tuition scholarship, guarantee summer research internships at research labs across the nation, living allowances, book expenses (books can be REALLY expensive), and you get to work at DoD for a couple of years after you graduate too. Its a great idea for those who want that extra experience point on their med application resume and for those want to get a better chance at applying for med school. From different vantage points, its a win-win situation especiall for those who wish to supplement their medical school education with an army scholarship.

Brown doesn’t have an ROTC atleast to my knowledge…Consider Johns Hopkins, its has Ivy league caliber students with a very very strong international reputation in the arts, humanities, and sciences especially in international relation and medical fields.
