Medical Student Scholarship

The College is proud to offer scholarships to medical students enrolled in U.S. or Canadian approved programs in order to support attendance at the ACR annual meeting.

The 2024 Medical Student Scholarship

The College is proud to offer a maximum of ten scholarships to medical students enrolled in U.S. or Canadian approved programs in order to support attendance at the ACR annual meeting , April 13-17, 2024.

If the annual meeting is transitioned to a virtual format due to further coronavirus concerns book stipends ($250 each) will be awarded in lieu of travel grants.

Goal of scholarship:

  • Encourage medical student involvement with the ACR
  • Improve diversity and inclusion within ACR and radiology
  • Enhance the recognition and value of ACR membership amongst medical students and trainees
  • Increase understanding of the impact of ACR research in expanding the purview of medical imaging, interventional radiology, and radiation oncology practice for the benefit of patients
  • Highlight the importance of radiology as a critical component of patient care

Recipient requirements:

  • Awardees must register for ACR 2024 and attend pre-determined activities (to include the RFS program and Council meetings; attendance for a minimum of 3 days is required). 
  • Awardees will participate in the meeting mentor program, complete pre- and post-conference surveys and provide a post-meeting write-up on their experience; content from the post-meeting write-ups may be used in ACR publications and marketing materials.

How to apply:

The Scholarship is open to medical students in a U.S. or Canadian approved program and who have an interest in becoming a diagnostic radiologist, interventional radiologist, radiation oncologist or nuclear medicine physician.

Application requirements include:

  • ACR Membership (medical students join free)
  • Students must be in their first, second, or third year of medical school, or in a research year, and not yet matched into a residency program.
  • Resume/curriculum vitae
  • Students may only receive the scholarship once.

The 2024 Medical Student Scholarship is now closed. The 2025 application will open on September 1, 2024.
