What type of funding is there for students to undertake a summer IH project?
There are a limited number of scholarships available to first-year medical students via the IH Summer Scholarship. The scholarship helps defray the cost of conducting a research or community health project overseas (for at least 8 weeks). Scholarships are not awarded for experiential learning/ clinic shadowing overseas. Students must attend the IH Mini-Course during the academic year to be eligible for funding for the IH Summer Scholarship. There is a small amount of funding that may be used to defray the cost of approved language immersion programs – see IH Summer Scholarship (part 2) for info. Additionally, there are (a few) external scholarships available for first- year students for IH summer projects (see Funding).
