Call for Scholarship Donations to Increase Exposure to Family Medicine

MAFP Members’ Generous Giving Supports Student & Resident Initiatives

Family Medicine Foundation of Michigan’s Student & Resident Event Scholarship Fund—funded 100% by donations—makes it possible for student and resident members of Michigan Academy of Family Physicians to attend the Michigan Family Medicine Conference & Expo to learn, network, and explore family medicine.

A scholarship covers a student’s/resident’s early-bird registration fee, providing them access to educational sessions and networking events. Each donor is matched with a student/resident, whom they will have the opportunity to meet during the conference.

Unused donations are reserved for scholarships for other Family Medicine Foundation of Michigan events, such as the Michigan Future of Family Medicine Student Conference & Residency Connection taking place on Sept. 16 in Novi.

How to Sponsor a Student or Resident

If you are attending the 2023 Michigan Family Medicine Conference & Expo (Aug. 12-15 at Grand Traverse Resort near Traverse City), you may indicate your donation to the Student & Resident Event Scholarship Fund when you register for the conference. If you are not attending the conference, you may donate at mafp.com/foundation.

Every $275 donation earns one entry ticket to the exclusive Family Medicine Foundation of Michigan VIP Afterglow, taking place Aug. 14 at Grand Traverse Resort.
