Arlington County Medical Society Foundation

We are proud to present the ACMS Foundation Scholarship, initiated by our physician members, as a means to give back to the future of medicine – to our future healthcare professionals!

The foundation awards scholarships to local high school graduates interested in pursuing studies in medicine or healthcare based on merit and financial need. We are currently working with Wakefield High School, which serves some of the most culturally diverse residential areas in the nation and has a large underserved population. The Arlington County Medical Society member physicians volunteer to participate in career days, mentorships and shadowing as we continue to support our local students in their pursuit of a career in the healthcare sector. The challenges, financial burdens and professional requirements are at the highest levels and physician shortage continues to threaten the future of healthcare. After experiencing the effects of a global pandemic, the stakes couldn’t be higher – it is now more important than ever to support the young minds who strive to become our future healthcare professionals. Our future depends on it.
