The Doctor Thomas P. and Edwina H. Devlin Medical Scholarship Fund was created in 1962 to assist worthy medical and nursing school students with financial grants which may be applied to the cost of tuition, books, and equipment.

Applicants must be accepted at an accredited medical school, nursing school, or physician assistant program seeking a degree of M.D., D.O., P.A., N.P., or R.N. We do not accept applications from students in pre-med programs or other health-related fields. We welcome applications only from residents of Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, Wilmington, Winchester, and Woburn, MA.

The degree to which we are able to provide financial assistance varies from year to year, depending in part on the generosity of our contributors who make donations in the form of memorial gifts, general donations, or bequests. In recent years, we have awarded scholarships to between two and ten candidates annually ranging from $100 to $4,000.

Candidates are judged on the basis of personal character, scholastic standing and financial need. The deadline for applying is June 1st. Incomplete applications will be disqualified.

Thank you for your interest in the Devlin Medical Scholarship Fund.
