    Is there any scholarships for Pre-medicine students in the USA or UK

    • Hyun Lee May 11, 2024 at 6:59 pm - Reply

      For US, pre-med is not usually a thing. Usually, students major in STEM fields like biology, chemistry, physics, math, and then apply for medical school in the US. For those majors, there are scholarships. You can see them in fully funded scholarships page and our USA Scholarship Database. For UK, it’s bachelor’s of medicine like Oxford’s medicine. There are scholarships available, but it is quite limited.
