Description

Scott A. Gunder, MD, was a person with a vision of returning something to the community that had given him so much. Early in his term as the 125th president of the Dauphin County Medical Society (DCMS), he wanted to establish a scholarship for a deserving medical student. The Scott A. Gunder, MD, DCMS Presidential Scholarship will be awarded to a second-year medical student at Penn State College of Medicine. Applicants must be a bona fide resident of Pennsylvania for at least 12 months before registering as a medical student, not including time spent attending an undergraduate or graduate school in Pennsylvania. Applicants must be a member of the Pennsylvania Medical Society and county medical society. 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. Applicants must also submit a letter, on school letterhead, from Penn State College of Medicine verifying that they are enrolled as they required to be. A personal interview is not required; however, it may be requested. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Foundation of the Pennsylvania Medical Society for more information.
