Mumbai/New Delhi, Dec 13, 2024: Max Healthcare Foundation has launched the second edition of its flagship Max Medical Scholarship Programme, designed to empower meritorious students from economically weaker sections pursuing medical education. The scholarship will fully fund the medical education of 100 new students every year who have qualified for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET examination) and gained admission to the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program in government medical colleges in Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Nagpur and Dehradun for the academic year 2024-25.
In addition to opening new opportunities for fresh applicants, Max Medical Scholarship programme will also continue to fund the education of students who were enrolled last year, now in the second year of academic journey, ensuring continuous support.
The Max Medical Scholarship Programme is part of Max Healthcare Foundation’s corporate social responsibility programme that aims to encourage and support the aspirations of next-generation medical professionals.
Speaking on the announcement, Taruna Soi, Chairperson Max Healthcare Foundation, said, “Financial constraints can often exclude meritorious students from economically disadvantaged communities to drop out before completing their education. To empower such students, we are proud to announce the second edition of Max Medical Scholarship Programme, which will fully fund the medical education of 100 more meritorious students. Rooted in our core values of care and compassion, this corporate social responsibility initiative aims to empower the next generation of medical professionals. Together, we nurture talent, break down barriers, and forge a brighter, more inclusive future in healthcare."
The registrations for this scholarship has opened from December 13. The Max Medical Scholarships marks one of the largest-ever annual scholarship grants for medical education in India. The selected students will be granted comprehensive financial assistance for the duration of their 5-year MBBS course. The first year of the scholarship will cover support in tuition fees, a personal laptop, text books and tools like the bone set, dissection kit, stethoscope, and an allowance for monthly expenses.
The initiative intends to support the academic expenses of the students throughout their educational journey. Every year, 100 scholarships will be granted to the eligible beneficiaries. The applications will be open for a 15-day window following the program’s announcement. This will be followed by multiple stages including application review and shortlisting, interviews of shortlisted applicants, and final selection basis submission of mandatory documents. The selection process for these 100 scholars is based on rigorous evaluation criteria that will be assessed by a jury from the Max Healthcare Foundation.
The applications are open for 15 days until December 27. Max Healthcare social media handles will also share timely updates on the programme.
