Foundation for Black Communities (FFBC) Black Medical Student Bursary 2025 (up to $10,000)

Applications are now open for the 2025 Foundation for Black Communities (FFBC) Black Medical Student Bursary, a significant, needs-based financial award designed to support Black students entering their first year of medical school at select Canadian institutions. This bursary represents a crucial step in FFBC’s ongoing mission to promote health equity and address systemic barriers within the healthcare system by ensuring that Black communities are not only represented but also meaningfully supported throughout the medical profession. By alleviating financial burdens that disproportionately affect Black students, the bursary aims to create a more inclusive and diverse medical landscape in Canada, empowering future Black physicians to thrive academically and professionally while also contributing to the health and well-being of underserved communities. Through this initiative, the Foundation for Black Communities reaffirms its commitment to nurturing the next generation of Black medical leaders and fostering a healthcare system that is reflective of and responsive to the diverse populations it serves.

They recognize the systemic challenges that Black students face in accessing and completing medical training, and this program is designed to empower the next generation of Black physicians by providing both financial relief and a signal of community support.
