Scholarship Fund of the Worcester DIstrict Medical Society

The Scholarship Fund Worcester District Medical Society Giving Back to the Community

The Scholarship Fund began with $14,000, monies unexpectedly realized when WDMS organized and led a massive poliomyelitis immunization program in 1963.

The charge for the live oral polio vaccine was 25 cents per dose. Thousands of people came to clinics held on Sundays in the schools and manned by WDMS physicians and the Alliance.

Since the program was not intended for profit, the Society returned the money to the community by establishing a Scholarship Fund.

Now more than ever, our medical students face overwhelming debt burdens, with median educational debt exceeding $206,000, but as much as $350,000 form some students.
