Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) Leaders

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the AAFP Foundation continues to provide a minimum of 250 Family Medicine Leads (FM Leads) Scholarships for residents and medical students to attend AAFP FUTURE July 31—Aug. 2, 2025 in Kansas City, MO. This provides the opportunity to experience and explore family medicine through educational programming and procedural workshops, leadership opportunities, and interaction and networking with family physicians and peers from across the country.

The Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) Leaders Scholarship is open to current or incoming FMIG, ACOFP Student Chapter, or other Student Primary Care Interest Group leaders. You must hold an FMIG/SIG leadership position in the 2025–26 academic year to apply.

Students who wish to apply for this award must complete an online application (including contact information for your FMIG/SIG faculty advisor) that includes answers to the following questions:

What is your FMIG/SIG leadership position (or upcoming position) and what do you hope to achieve in this role in the year ahead?
What about attending FUTURE will make you a more effective family medicine leader on your campus?
What will be your focus at the conference?

Each text box allows for 1000 characters (approximately 150 words). You are encouraged to give considerable thought to the essay questions and draft your answers in a separate document prior to beginning your application. If applicable, you may also complete an optional essay to briefly describe how you identify as someone underrepresented in medicine (500-character limit).

You must be a medical student during the 2025–26 academic year to apply. You are not eligible if you will graduate before July 1, 2025.

Application is due by May 1, 2025.

Applicants will be notified on June 3, 2025.
