The Florence L. Smith Medical Scholarship has helped over 750 physicians cover the cost of medical school

There are currently 18 recipients receiving $85,500 for the 2011-12 academic year

Past recipients have gone on to head the American Medical Association and many national and state medical societies

In 2006 a group of physicians touched by the generosity of the late Florence L. Smith created the Society of Smith Scholars. Society founders all received scholarships to attend medical school from the Florence L. Smith Medical Scholarship Fund from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. The scholarship started in 1952 and is still helping medical students today.
