Through the William E. Dochterman Scholarship Fund, the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society provides scholarships to deserving medical school students who have graduated from a high school in El Dorado, Sacramento, or Yolo counties.

Applications are evaluated primarily on the basis of financial need and academic achievement. Financial data will be analyzed according to family/student resources and household size. Given limited funds, not all eligible applicants will be recipients.

•  Students must have graduated from a high school in El Dorado, Sacramento or Yolo counties.
• Must be enrolled in an accredited American medical school (MD or DO) on a full-time basis (12 units or more). This grant does not apply to summer enrollment or to correspondence schools.
