Here’s what your generosity and support of MAA programs mean to medical students – and the future of the profession.
“Providing access to care for medically underserved populations has been the primary motivator for my pursuit of a career in medicine. Your generous gift will ensure that my limited financial resources do not thwart this dream. Thank you.”

“I want to offer my most enthusiastic thanks for the generous bursary. As a student from a single-parent household with numerous financial and early-life struggles, attending medical school is a daunting financial endeavour. People like you help to give people like me a fighting chance at achieving their dreams.”
– 3rd-year medical student
“I am incredibly grateful. Your generosity makes a huge difference as it provides strength and support to students, such as myself, who are limited by their financial situation. It enables me to pursue more opportunities and to work hard to become the best clinician I can be. Thank you for supporting the next generation of physicians!”
