The SOMA Foundation is dedicated to supporting the education, leadership development, and professional growth of osteopathic medical students. As a not-for-profit organization, our mission is to empower future physicians through scholarships, grants, educational opportunities, and philanthropic support that help students thrive throughout their medical journey.
We believe financial barriers should never stand in the way of aspiring osteopathic physicians achieving their goals. Through the generosity of donors, sponsors, and our partners, the SOMA Foundation helps cultivate a new generation of compassionate, skilled, and community-focused healthcare leaders prepared to make a lasting impact on the future of osteopathic medicine.
Empowering The Physicians of Tomorrow
Help osteopathic medical students grow into confident, compassionate, and engaged leaders who will shape the future of healthcare. Your gift helps provide scholarships, leadership development, advocacy training, and educational opportunities that prepare future DOs to serve their patients, communities, and the osteopathic profession with excellence. Every contribution, no matter the size, is an investment in the next generation of physicians and the future of healthcare itself. Together, we can empower tomorrow’s osteopathic leaders to make a lasting impact for years to come.
Scholarships for Aspiring Osteopathic Physicians
With the support of our generous benefactors, the SOMA Foundation is proud to offer a wide range of scholarships for our student members. These scholarships are designed to alleviate financial burdens and empower students to focus on their education and professional development.
SOMA Foundation Grant Program
The SOMA Foundation Grant Program promotes osteopathic medicine at the local level. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we can financially support individual SOMA chapter projects that align with the missions of SOMA and the AOA. These grants help foster a deeper understanding of osteopathic medicine in our communities. Awards are limited to $500 per school, ensuring each SOMA chapter can benefit from this program.
