The Oregon Medical Education Foundation's Leadership Scholarship is helping Oregon’s current PA, DO, and MD student leaders thrive! Launched in 2021 to recognize the leadership talent and potential of students pursuing a medical education in Oregon, this competitive scholarship is awarded to at least one PA, one DO, and one MD student each year. Scholars may be selected to receive additional supports, such as a mentor.
While not strictly need-based, financial need is a key screening point. This scholarship aims to identify and support students at the intersection of financial need and leadership development, who have a track record of community impact and who, if financial or other obstacles were removed, would be able to achieve more and faster.
The 2026 application will open in December of 2025. Watch this space and our Instagram account @ omef_futureofmedicine for more information.
Current students in good academic standing in any of the following programs may apply:
- College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific NW (DO students)
- George Fox Physician Assistant Program (PA students)
- OHSU School of Medicine (MD students, including those pursuing dual degree MD/PhD or MD/MPH)
- OHSU Physician Assistant Program (PA students)
- Pacific University Physician Assistant Program (PA students)
