Choose Virginia Scholarships

The Virginia Academy of Family Physicians (VAFP) Foundation is delighted to provide resident scholarships to assist with education loan repayment and scholarships to support medical student attendance at local, state and national family medicine meetings. Many medical students have expressed an interest in learning more about family medicine at these events and family medicine residents in Virginia have expressed an interest in staying in Virginia after their graduation to practice in a medically underserved area. Over the years, the VAFP Foundation has received donations to support this effort to keep our own.
