Harvard Medical School REACH Student Scholarship
Harvard Medical School is committed to providing all accepted students with need-based financial aid packages that help make it possible for them to attend HMS and access its world-class educational, research, and training opportunities. This commitment is critical to the School’s mission to nurture a diverse, inclusive community dedicated to alleviating suffering and improving health and well-being for all. Chi-Li Pao Foundation USA can appreciate this commitment and mission, having funded programs at Stanford for the past five years aiming to improve the lives of Chinese people through the support of medical education and health care projects. Now, the foundation has given $200,000 to establish a scholarship fund at HMS with a preference for students whose heritage is linked to China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Singapore. “Although it is often noted that Chinese and Asians in general are over-represented in the medical field, not all Chinese students come from wealthy backgrounds and many come from immigrant families,” says Gloria S. Kim, MD, Chi-Li Pao Foundation USA trustee. The foundation was created in honor of Chi-Li Pao, a shipping magnate and generous philanthropist. Kim says the family behind the foundation hopes that this scholarship provides a transformative experience for recipients, and that those recipients are inspired by the generosity of strangers to do good things, make positive contributions to society, and help others along the way.
