The MMA Foundation is accepting applications for its Friedman-Bowen Primary Care Scholarship Fund through May 2.

Eligible students include those who are studying at a Minnesota medical school and intend to pursue primary care. The Foundation expects to award approximately $10,000 in Friedman-Bowen grants in 2024. Click here for more information and to download the RFP and application materials.

The Foundation expects to award $3,000 in Indihar grants in 2024. Click here for more information.
