The Office of Minority Affairs is responsible for developing and implementing programs that enhance the educational opportunities for minorities to enter the medical and allied health professions. The Office also coordinates the provision of academic, social, and cultural support services for matriculated minority students. The director works closely with the administration staff to design programs to facilitate the adjustment of students to the College's academic and non-academic environment. An endowed scholarship fund for minority medical students was established in 1986 and is managed by the Office of Financial Aid. In addition to the endowed scholarship funds, the College offers three full-merit scholarships each year to deserving students.
Students maintain the scholarships as long as they remain in good academic standing.
The Office of Minority Affairs administers one high school program for underrepresented students. The director is involved in the recruitment of well qualified students to the College and is actively involved in the admissions process and reviews the applications of all underrepresented applicants. The Office is located in the Administration Building. AMC takes no responsibility for content provided at external link sites. Copyright, 1999-2000, Albany Medical Center.
