What are you asking?

 

[cheezer]

what type of applicant with regards to both stats and extracurriculars would make an sgu/ross/auc admissions committee say, we really really want this student to come here and make our school look better: the student seems to be open to our school given the right incentives, let's offer that student a scholarship and see if he/she bites.

Uh never heard of it, all the schools are FOR profit even if they claim nonprofit.

The only Scholarships I know of is for Locals where the Schools are, a seldom if ever used resource just the way the schools like it!

If US or Canadian good luck on finding a legit school with a scholarship.

It's all a bunch of hot air, but here is a listing of SGU's scholarships and what qualifications you need to get them. I'd imagine you'd have to be competitive enough for a US school (3.6/30) to have a shot at a for-profit school to actually ease off on the tuition.

University Sponsored Scholarships – Institutional Aid Program
A small number of partial tuition scholarships and loans are granted to members of each entering class. Awards for the full cost of attendance are not offered. In order for the student to plan in advance for the financial obligations associated with attending St. George’s University, most applications and awards are made prior to the student’s matriculation in the school and for the entire length of the program.
All awards must be used to defray the cost of tuition and are credited directly to the student’s account each term by the Office of Student Finances. Awards are made for the length of the student’s entire curriculum and prorated on the term/academic year schedule. The award letter will outline the distribution of the award.

Financial Aid Services, Inc., in accordance with guidelines set by the school’s Financial Aid Committee, makes the selection of award recipients. Award determinations are based on academic excellence, the degree of the family’s financial need and the availability of funds from the School as well as the scholarship’s specified criteria.
The student’s ability to finance his/her education beyond the extent of the financial aid award is also an important selection criterion. Applicants should be aware that the funding is limited and the quality of the applicants is generally very competitive. Unfortunately, awards cannot be made to every deserving student.

Applications will be accepted from either applicants or accepted students. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis up until the first day of classes. Applicants will receive either an award letter or a letter of declination from Financial Aid Services in a timely manner.

Entering Students
Academic/Merit-Based Scholarships
The Legacy of Excellence Awards
Partial tuition scholarships are awarded to some entering students who demonstrate academic excellence. As part of the Morris Alpert Scholarship fund the award serves as a fitting tribute to a man whose knowledge, dedication and enthusiasm exemplified our University’s commitment of taking the practice of medicine to new and unanticipated heights.

Through his memory, we seek to nurture and encourage more students of superior academic caliber to strike out and impact the world of medicine in noble and humanitarian ways. These awards are based solely on academic merit and the student’s commitment to his/her school and chosen profession.

Needs-Based Scholarships
Geoffrey H. Bourne Scholarships
Partial scholarships are awarded to entering students who possess the personal qualities of motivation and integrity, as well as an academic background that demonstrates academic excellence. This award is a grant and does not have to be repaid.

Congress of Italian American Organizations (CIAO)
Partial scholarships are awarded in honor of Mrs. Mary Sansone, Executive Director of CIAO, for her many years of community service. Preference is given to students of Italian descent. However, students of all heritages have received these awards. This award is a grant and does not have to be repaid.

Stephen R. Kopycinski Memorial Scholarships
Partial tuition scholarships are awarded under the auspices of the Polonians, a national organization that promotes Polish heritage and culture. The awards are made in memory of Stephen R. Kopycinski, a former administrator at St. George's University. Preference is given to students of Polish decent.

International Peace Scholarships
This program is committed to promoting a student body made up of diverse nationalities and cultural backgrounds, which in the future will contribute to a worldwide medical community. Partial scholarships are awarded to non-US students who exhibit academic excellence, demonstrate financial need, and who will return to their home countries as physicians dedicated to the enhancement of the countries’ medical care systems. These awards are grants-in-aid and do not have to be repaid.

Grenadian and Vincentian Scholarships
Five scholarships are awarded annually to Grenadian citizens. Four scholarships are awarded annually to Vincentian citizens. Applicants must have been accepted into the University by the Board of Admissions, nominated by the Scholarship Selection Panel, and awarded by the Cabinet. The scholarships provide full tuition, administrative fees and required book expenses. For further information, contact:

Upperclassmen
Needs-Based Scholarships

This scholarship is dedicated to the memory of Morris Alpert, MD the first Dean of Kingstown Medical College. Each year several partial tuition scholarships will be awarded to upperclassmen in terms 5 through 11 who have achieved academic excellence and who have participated in extracurricular or community service during their first years of medical school. Recipients of these awards must also demonstrate financial need and meet the high moral and ethical standards set by Dr. Alpert for his students during his tenure in the faculty of St. George’s University.

William M. McCord Scholarships
This scholarship is dedicated to the memory of William M. McCord, MD, a leader in the field of medical education in the United States who had a major impact on the development of St. George’s University School of Medicine’s clinical program. These partial tuition scholarships are awarded in some situations to students who, due to compelling personal and/or professional reasons, have suffered undue financial hardships which affect their ability to pay for their education. These awards are grants-in-aid and do not have to be repaid.

Unless, of course, you are such a gifted scholar that you feel you can become a competent physician without classroom learning. Basically, if you are student at Northern Medical School.
