Founded by Dr. Ian Weisberg, a distinguished cardiac electrophysiologist, the grant represents a direct investment in the future of medicine. The program offers a one-time $1,000 award to assist a deserving student with educational expenses, reinforcing the importance of cultivating the next generation of clinicians.

The scholarship criteria require applicants to be currently enrolled undergraduates in a pre-health program and to maintain a strong academic record. The central component of the application is a 750-1,000 word essay. Applicants must describe a personal experience that solidified their commitment to healthcare, explaining how it shaped their understanding of patient care and how they plan to integrate those lessons into their future practice.

The vision for this initiative comes directly from Dr. Ian Weisberg, whose own career is a testament to clinical excellence and global compassion. The essay prompt is designed to identify students who possess not only academic prowess but also the empathy and reflective capacity essential for modern medical practice. By understanding the motivations that drive future caregivers, the grant aims to support individuals who will lead with both skill and heart.

The legacy of Dr. Ian Weisberg provides a powerful model for grant recipients. His work in founding and developing electrophysiology programs has expanded access to specialized cardiac care. Furthermore, his volunteer efforts, including assisting in the design of a cardiac operating room in Kenya, illustrate a commitment to healthcare that transcends local boundaries. This scholarship is an extension of that philosophy, created to foster similar values in students.

The application deadline for the Dr. Ian Weisberg Grant is July 15, 2026. The recipient will be selected following a thorough review of all submissions and will be announced on August 15, 2026. The grant is open to all eligible undergraduate students in the United States, regardless of their specific state of residence.

This scholarship fund is a personal initiative for Dr. Ian Weisberg, reflecting his dedication to mentoring and supporting aspiring medical professionals. The grant seeks to alleviate some of the financial pressures associated with higher education, allowing students to focus more intensely on their studies and professional development.

Prospective applicants can find full details on eligibility, the essay prompt, and the application procedure on the official website. The grant encourages all qualified undergraduate students on a pre-health path to apply.
