PAMC Awards Three Pre-Medical Scholarships
Three local high school students with ambitions to become doctors headed off to college this fall with some well-deserved and much appreciated financial help from the Palo Alto Medical Clinic's (PAMC) Pre-Medical Scholarship.

The scholarship, which was established in 1993 and is funded by PAMC physicians, provides $5,000 a year for four years (a total of $20,000) to students in the communities PAMC serves who attend a four-year college and plan to pursue careers as doctors.
