SDSMA FOUNDATION
The
SDSMA Foundation was created in 1949 to fund scholarships for medical students
attending medical school in South Dakota. The Foundation provides an opportunity to showcase a true philanthropic
spirit of physicians who desire to give back to their profession. Each donation allows the Foundation to
grow and provide support for future physicians through the student
scholarships.
The
Foundation annually provides scholarships to medical students attending medical
school at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine. The scholarships are intended to offset the
rising costs of tuition and encourage an allegiance to organized medicine while
encouraging leadership skills among South Dakota’s brightest and most energetic
medical students.
Foundation
scholarships are believed to be unique by rewarding strong leadership – to the
end that medical graduates will embrace a sense of community and caring beyond
clinical expertise. To date, the
Foundation has supported more than 100 medical students in their pursuit of
becoming physician leaders. With recent grant awards, the SDSMA Foundation is also positioned to support health improvement programs that address the SDSMA's public health priorities.
The SDSMA Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization and your tax deductible donation provides scholarship assistance to medical students - the future physicians of South Dakota!
