What is the S Evelyn Lewis Memorial Scholarship?

Dr. S. Evelyn Lewis left her name on a ZNEF fund aimed at women who will spend careers in medicine and health sciences, not students casually minoring in biology. Full-time enrollment is non-negotiable, and the 150-word essay is short enough that every sentence must carry weight.

AwardSpring currently displays $5,000 for the February 1, 2027 cycle, which is a jump from older $500 to $1,000 directory entries. Read the open portal before you budget. Three recommendation letters mean you should ask faculty or clinical mentors in November, not January.
