Medical Student Loan Applications Available

Do you know of a medical student (with ties to the Saginaw area) in need of a loan?

The SCMS Foundation may be able to help. The intent is to encourage physicians to return to Saginaw County to practice medicine.

The terms of these loans are generous. No interest is charged while the student is in medical school, simple interest is charged at a rate of four percent per annum during a residency program, and interest is charged at a rate of eight percent per annum upon the completion of a residency program.

If the loan recipient returns to Saginaw to practice upon completion of their residency and they are a dues paying member of the SCMS/MSMS, 25 percent of the principal balance will be forgiven at the end of each year they are practicing in Saginaw County, with a maximum of $5,000 per year forgiven.

The Foundation Board generally considers students who are past their first year of medical school, and among other things, according to:

• Strength of connection to Saginaw

• Financial need

• Scholastic performance

• Community service/extracurricular activities

The intent of the Foundation loans are to assist and encourage students to return to Saginaw to practice medicine.

Only applicants enrolled in a United States medical school will be considered.

If any SCMS member knows of a medical student in need (with an interest in the Saginaw area), please encourage him or her to apply. Applications may be downloaded from the SCMS website www.SaginawCountyMS.com under the “Medical Student Loans” tab. Deadline for applications is March 31, 2023.
