Fort Worth Plastic Surgeon Dr. Emily J. Kirby Launches the Texas Medical Excellence Scholarship for Aspiring Medical Professionals

Fort Worth, TX—Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Emily J. Kirby is pleased to announce the launch of the Texas Medical Excellence Scholarship, a new initiative to support Texas students pursuing careers in a medical field. The scholarship aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with medical education and help inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals.

“We are thrilled to offer the Texas Medical Excellence Scholarship as a way to give back to our community and support students dedicated to advancing in the medical field,” said Dr. Kirby, who is the Founder and Medical Director of Kirby Plastic Surgery and Kalos Medical Spa in Fort Worth. “Our goal is to provide financial assistance to talented and hardworking individuals who are committed to making a positive impact in healthcare. By supporting their academic pursuits, we hope to contribute to the growth and strength of the medical community in Texas.”

The Texas Medical Excellence Scholarship supports Texas students pursuing careers in the medical field, including as doctors, nurses, medical assistants, and more.

The Texas Medical Excellence Scholarship is a $2,500 award available to Texas residents actively pursuing an education in a medicine-related field. The scholarship funds can be applied to various educational expenses, including tuition, textbooks, required technology, and living costs. The launch of this scholarship is timely, offering versatile financial support for aspiring medical professionals during a time when the effects of inflation can make pursuing higher education more challenging.

All Texas residents enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate medical program, whether in Texas, another state, or through an accredited online institution, are encouraged to apply for the Texas Medical Excellence Scholarship. Eligible applicants must be pursuing degrees in fields such as Medicine (MD, DO, DPM), Dentistry (DMD, DDS), Nursing (RN, NP), Pharmacy (PharmD), or other healthcare-related disciplines.

Dr. Kirby emphasized the importance of keeping the scholarship criteria broad to reach a larger range of students seeking a career in medicine. “We want to ensure that every eligible student, regardless of their financial situation, has the opportunity to pursue their dreams in the medical field,” Dr. Kirby noted. “It is important to us that this award be flexible, supporting students’ ability to focus on their education rather than on the associated expenses.”

Applications will be accepted via an online submission process from Monday, September 9, 2024 to Friday, November 15, 2024. Students must submit their application and all required materials, including original essay responses, a letter of recommendation, and a professional headshot, to successfully complete the application process and be considered for the medical scholarship. Once the application window is closed, the Scholarship Selection Committee will review each application and select a winner based on the applicant’s qualifications, the content of their essays, and their reference letter. The scholarship recipient will be announced on Monday, December 16, 2024, and will be awarded a check to support their educational journey.

“The demand for quality healthcare providers continues to increase, and the financial burden of pursuing an education can be a difficult obstacle that students face when deciding their career path,” Dr. Kirby commented. “We look forward to playing a small part in advancing the education of Texas medical students with our scholarship.”
