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 & 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 & 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 & Redistribution of Scholarships

Annual renewal of the scholarships is contingent upon the recipient 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.
