LCOM Institutional Scholarships for Already-Matriculated Students
While the bulk of our funding is currently spent on recruitment, as determined by the Larner College of Medicine leadership, we are pleased to house several scholarship funds that are reserved for already matriculated students:
The Freeman Medical Scholars Program
The purpose of the Freeman Medical Scholars Program is to meet the needs of Vermonters by assisting medical students who matriculated at the Larner College of Medicine in the classes of 2001-2012 to become Vermont physicians, especially in rural and underserved
areas.
In 2000 the Freeman Foundation and Family began a scholarship program at the Larner College of Medicine which has proven to be a lasting investment in health care for the state of Vermont. For over a decade, scholarships were provided to hundreds of Larner
College of Medicine students who promised to return to practice in Vermont. The final group of Freeman Scholar medical students graduated in May 2012.
