The Dr. Richard Allen Williams & Genita Evangelista Johnson Association of Black Cardiologists Scholarship

The AMA Foundation and the Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) have partnered to create a scholarship that promotes diversity in medicine, encourages commitment to eliminating health care disparities, and supports future cardiologists, while helping to alleviate medical student debt.

With generous support from founding donor Genita Evangelista Johnson, this annual scholarship will provide tuition support in the amount of $5,000 to a first- or second-year African-American medical student with an expressed interest in cardiology.

This scholarship is a category within the Minority Scholars Awards program. Applications for the 2018 Award are now available to medical schools with a deadline of February 2, 2018. Each medical school may nominate one student for this scholarship. The student must meet all other eligibility criteria related to the program. Please contact your medical school’s financial aid office or appropriate faculty member for more information.
