Enhances access to mentorship for underrepresented communities

Mission Statement

The pursuit of meaningful engagement in medicine for high school students

PreMedSKL is dedicated to enhancing access to mentorship and learning opportunities for Grade 10-12 students who demonstrate an early interest in the study of medicine. The PreMedSKL IDEA Scholarship encourages the pursuit of meaningful engagement in medicine for high school students from under-resourced and/or underrepresented communities. The criteria used to determine eligibility stem from recommendations from the Canadian Federation of Medical Students’ 2020 Equity Diversity and Inclusion Position Paper as well as current pathways for equitable admissions in Canadian medical schools. 

The PreMedSKL IDEA Scholarship is a full scholarship for one 12-week semester for eligible students who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine.  We will review student performance every 12-weeks and extend the scholarship to the next semester automatically, students are not required to re-apply at the end of every semester. All scholarship applicants are vetted by our admissions board and successful applicants will be notified.
