Scholarship Program
Our founders, members and partners firmly believe that education is the key to success. Therefore and for the past 28 years our organization has been conceding Scholarships to Hispanics across the Houston area.
The Program’s purpose is to increase the number of Hispanic students who are committed to increasing health equity and successfully go thru medical school, other health professions school or to graduate school in science and research careers in the United States.
If you wish to apply and discover more about the program please reach out.
“I want to thank the Hispanic American Medical Association of Houston for awarding the scholarship. I was born in Mexico City and moved to El Paso Texas when I was four years old. I will be applying Pediatrics this next upcoming cycle and plan to specialize in neonatology in the future”

“I’m honored to have been selected as a recipient of this scholarship and I’m incredibly grateful to the HAMAH and all of its members for their support. I appreciate the continued efforts by this organization to support Hispanic medical students like myself. I hope to return to Houston in continuing the HAMAH tradition of supporting the next Generations of Hispanic positions.”
Triana Fernandez
“The financial aid I have received during my medical education, including the HAMAH scholarship, has allowed me to focus on school and community outreach. Any scholarship received, no matter the amount, decreases the financial burden on students. Furthermore, it encourages the scholarship recipients to give back to the community. I appreciate the support I have received from HAMAH, and the donors that make that scholarship possible.”
Efrain Rodriguez
“One of the challenges as a medical student is budgeting cost of living while also paying for tuition and other medical school expenses, including board examinations. The HAMAH scholarship is going to help me cover a good portion of the cost of my board examinations, relieving some of the financial stress and allowing me to focus more on academic leadership and community service. I’m grateful to HAMAH for supporting the advancement of Hispanic students in the medicine.”
