Osteopathy scholarship available for aspiring doctors

From Commonwealth News Center

Kentucky students planning to study osteopathy at Pikeville College may be eligible for an Osteopathic Medicine Scholarship, administered by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).

The amount of the scholarship is equal to the difference between the average in-state tuition charged at the state medical schools and the tuition charged at the Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine.



The application deadline is July 1, 2008. For application information, contact Teresa Jones at (606) 218-5400 or tjones@pc.edu.

Students who receive the scholarship are required to practice 2,000 hours of osteopathic medicine in Kentucky for each year they receive the scholarship. If they do not fulfill the practice requirements, they must repay the scholarship with 6 percent interest. Approved fields of service are family practice, general practice, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, general obstetrics and gynecology.
