Board of Medical Scholarships Award (BMSA) 

The Board of Medical Scholarship Award (BMSA) was created as an incentive to increase the supply of primary care physicians (family practice, internal medicine, and pediatrics) and encourage their practice in the state's rural medically underserved communities. Educational loans are awarded for students enrolled in medical schools in the State of Alabama. In exchange for repaying the loan, scholarship recipients' agree to return to a pre-approved medically, underserved community to practice primary care medicine. Any Alabama resident enrolled in any of the state's medical schools are eligible with preference given to those demonstrating economic need.

For more information or to apply for this loan, please contact Kelly Parker, Executive Director Board of Medical Scholarship Awards via email or at (334) 353-4800.
