Help Send Students to the AAFP National Conference

Students to the AAFP FUTURE Campaign

Through generous donors like you, we’ve sent students to FUTURE and are looking to do that again in 2025!

Maryland medical students are learning about and solidifying their interest in family medicine by attending the AAFP FUTURE Conference for Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students.

This annual event provides them opportunities to attend workshops and procedure sessions, connect with hundreds of family medicine residencies and employers, learn leadership development skills and network with students, residents and physicians who have common interests.

Applications are now open for 2025!

The Maryland Academy of Family Physicians-Foundation is pleased to announce that we will once again be offering $800 scholarships for Maryland medical students to attend AAFP's FUTURE Conference (formally National Conference) on July 31-August 2, 2025, in Kansas City!

Scholarships are limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for students at each of Maryland's medical schools. The deadline to apply is May 1, 2025.

Additionally, the AAFP-Foundation offers $600 scholarships to different categories of students–Early Career Student (Rising M1-M3), Student (Rising M4), and Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) Leaders.

Students who apply for scholarships must be a member of AAFP/MDAFP. Student membership is free and applications can be completed online.

*Note: Applicants for MDAFP - Foundation scholarships must also apply for an AAFP scholarship. AAFP scholarships supersede MDAFP-F scholarships, so students can only receive one scholarship to the conference. Students who receive an AAFP scholarship will be eligible for a $200 supplemental scholarship from MDAFP-F to ensure all students are given the same opportunities.
