To break down the barriers of financial constraints that often hinder promising students from economically disadvantaged households, Max Healthcare Foundation (MHF) has introduced the Max Medical Scholarship Programme.

The Max Medical Scholarship Programme is part of Max Healthcare Foundation’s corporate social responsibility program that aims to encourage and support the aspirations of next-generation medical professionals. The scholarship will fully fund the medical education of 100 students every year from economically weaker sections (EWS) who have qualified for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET examination) and gained admission to the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program in the eight government medical colleges in Delhi for the academic year 2023-24.

The registration for this scholarship will open on February 20, 2024 (www.maxhealthcarefoundation.org). The Max Medical Scholarships marks one of India's largest annual scholarship grants for medical education.

To empower such students, we proudly announce the Max Medical Scholarship Programme, which will fully fund the medical education of 100 deserving students. Rooted in our core values of care and compassion, this corporate social responsibility initiative aims to empower the next generation of medical professionals. We will nurture talent, break down barriers and create brighter, more inclusive healthcare.
