Review for National Medical Fellowships Inc, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This is a great organization and I am grateful for its existence. My communications and dealings with NMF were handled professionally and in a timely manner. The organization fulfills a great need.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I was awarded one of NMF's Emergency Scholarships in the amount of $10,000. These funds came at a time when the economic climate forced many lenders out of the business and the few remaining were much more selective than ever before with giving private loans. That opportunity was closed off to me and I was left with a great financial need. I also faced mounting medical bills due to taking steps to properly diagnose or rule out a potentially life threatening illness. The NMF scholarship allowed me to stay in school and focus on my studies. I have since just recently finished medical school, graduating with high honors without the continued stress and distraction of financial strain. I am eternally grateful to the men and women of NMF for the opportunity they gave me. I hope to one day, through NMF, also support the education of a needy student hoping to achieve his/her dreams.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the ease of the process and receiving funds to help with my educational expenses.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

kind, informative, helpful.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

change the face of American medicine; encouraging more people who do not have the means to pursue a medical education (these are the people who often go into medicine for the 'right reasons' and contribute most to primary care and serve the underserved).

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009
