What is Covered?
Course Registration Waived with Scholarship
The Stanford Department of Ophthalmology is committed to ensuring that our field of ophthalmology and vision research is representative of the population we treat. We are aware that because ophthalmology is an early match, often students learn about the field later in their medical school training or not at all.
We welcome anyone with an interest in ophthalmology to apply for a BAOC scholarship. In particular, we would like to encourage third- and fourth-year medical students, ophthalmology residents and fellows, and practicing ophthalmologists from backgrounds that are, broadly defined, underrepresented in medicine to apply for the BAOC scholarship.
We do not discriminate on the basis of differences in age, ability, gender identity and expression, ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, religion, immigration status, sexual orientation.
Disclaimer: The scholarship covers the registration fee and may provide a partial living stipend.
Decisions will be sent out to recipients ~ early May. If you are selected as one of our scholarship recipients, we will send you notification with instructions on how to register for the course.
