Patrick F. Taylor Foundation Primary Care Scholarship

The Patrick F. Taylor Foundation Primary Care Scholarship aims to increase the number of primary care physicians practicing in Louisiana by offering an annual $25,000 scholarship to L3 and L4 students. Awardees commit to practicing primary care in Louisiana for 24 consecutive months for each academic year the scholarship is accepted. The need for primary care physicians is high in Louisiana, with the majority of parishes classified as Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas. This scholarship aims to address this shortage and improve access to primary care in the state.
