Goal

To promote a culture and image of academic excellence and encourage enrollment of outstanding students who will promote and enhance the eminence of the Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine.

Selection

Scholarships are awarded to academically outstanding incoming students applying for early admission. Based on the ranking of applicants, selection is made by a committee including the members of the Medical School Admission Committee and the director of Financial Aid and Scholarships Office. Outstanding applicants from LAU are given priority over applicants from other universities.

The School shall advertise and integrate the availability of Merit Scholarships into its application process.

Renewal and Redistribution of Scholarships

Annual renewal of the scholarships is contingent upon meeting the following two conditions:

• Obtaining an Honor (H) Grade on the Final Cumulative Academic Year Grade
• Complying with the Medical Student Code of Conduct

If a scholarship recipient does not qualify for scholarship renewal, the Selecting Committee meets to assess and make appropriate decisions.

If a scholarship recipient declines, the student’s scholarship is awarded to the next top ranking student.
