Scholarship Program

Osteopathic Scholarship Program

The Dr. Alan J. Snider Memorial Scholarship Competition is open to 3rd and 4th year Osteopathic medical students.
The Foundation, formerly named Sun Coast Hospital Foundation, is an independent, 501(c)3 public organization with a mission to improve the health and quality of life in Largo and surrounding mid-Pinellas County. Our emphasis on health education, disease prevention, research, and service is consistent with our organization's Osteopathic heritage.

The Foundation promotes community health awareness through programs that advance the holistic health of families and individuals of all ages. We support education through scholarships for Osteopathic medical students with a priority to those intending to practice in Pinellas County, along with review of scholastic records and personal and academic references. 
The applicant must be a resident of the State of Florida prior to medical school admission; favorable weight will be given to those from the West central area of the state.  

The granting of any scholarship is conditional upon faithful attendance at classes, performance of duties as a student without discredit to the school and the profession of Osteopathic medicine.
