Description

Established in 1999, the Myrtle Siegfried, MD, and Michael Vigilante, MD Scholarship is awarded to a qualified first-year medical student residing in eligible counties in Pennsylvania. The scholarship was made possible through a memorial contribution from Mrs. Elena Pascal, Foundation trustee, and her sister, Mrs. Carla Vigilante, in honor of their parents, Drs. Siegfried and Vigilante, who practiced medicine in Allentown for more than 50 years. Applicants must be a resident of eligible counties in the state of Pennsylvania for at least 12 months prior to registering as a medical student. Applicants must be entering their first year of medical school and be enrolled in a fully accredited United States medical school. Applicants must submit two reference letters, from persons other than family members, documenting the applicant's integrity, interpersonal skills, and potential as a future physician.
