IAAP is pleased to announce launch of the 2024 cycle of its flagship Scholarship Program. Award selection criteria will solely be based on academic achievements and services to Iranian and Iranian American communities. The scholarships will include an IAAP certificate of outstanding achievements and a monetary award of $500 or $1000. Each degree (BSc, MSc/MSE, PhD, MD, and DDS/DMD) will have a dedicated number of awards. Since 2020, IAAP has also established the Dr. Farideh Toorany Memorial Scholarship, which will be awarded each year based on the aforementioned selection criteria to students in medical and health-related fields. Dr. Toorany was a surgeon and a member of the IAAP Board of Directors who tragically passed away in 2020.

The exact amount available for awards is currently unknown. The IAAP Fundraising Committee will make every effort to maximize the funds available for awards this year. IAAP invites businesses, legal entities, and individuals to make charitable donations to its tax-exempt funds to establish an IAAP scholarship in their name. Interests should be emailed to admin@iaapdc.org.

IAAP may be able to match some of the awardees with local IAAP members who are willing to provide lodging for out-of-town guests to make their travel to the awards ceremony more affordable.

Application Deadline

Applications will be accepted until February 29, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. ET or until nominally 75 applications are received, whichever comes first.
