The Stanford Department of Ophthalmology is committed to ensuring that our field of Ophthalmology and Vision Research is representative of the population we treat. Ophthalmology is an early match, and students often learn about the field later in their medical school training or have limited exposure.
We welcome those interested in Ophthalmology to apply for a BAOC scholarship. We encourage third- and fourth-year medical students, ophthalmology residents and fellows, and practicing Ophthalmologist from various backgrounds to apply for the BAOC scholarships.
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.
For international applicants, see FAQ.
Decisions will be sent out to recipients ~ end of April. If you are selected as one of our scholarship recipients, we will send you notification with instructions on how to register for the course.
Requested Documents: Cover Letter, Transcripts (for medical students), ID for residents/fellows.
