Project Grant applications
$500 unrestricted national awards for medical student-led community health projects. The 2026–27 recipients were announced on August 28, 2026 — see the grants page for the full list.
The 2026–27 cycle is closed. Applications for the 2027–28 cycle open in summer 2027.
What an application asks for does not change much: three short answers, under 650 words total, no budget, no attachments, no faculty sign-off. The Grant Writing Guide covers what a strong one looks like.

A community partner strengthens an application, but independent work is welcome and recognized too. Outcomes are worth describing even when they can't be measured. One project may be entered in only one category. Questions about the next cycle? Email benson.hsu@aequitashealth.org. Past winners: aequitashealth.org/grants.
