The Maine Osteopathic Association awards scholarships each year to students attending accredited and AOA-approved colleges of osteopathic medicine. Scholarships are available only to Maine residents. Maine residence is defined as legal residence in the State of Maine for a minimum of three years prior to first application for scholarship support. Residence in Maine for the sole purpose of post-secondary education is not considered evidence of Maine residence for the purposes of these scholarships. An applicant who is a graduate of a public or private secondary school in Maine is considered eligible regardless of whether or not the applicant has resided elsewhere in the interim between graduation and application. Preference is given to applicants who evidence an interest in returning to Maine to practice primary care. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
