Do you know a Black male high school junior or senior who dreams of becoming a physician or dentist?

Tennessee State University and Meharry Medical College are seeking qualified applicants for their accelerated 7-year MD/DDS program, which includes the potential for a full-ride scholarship. According to the flyer, there are currently no Black male applicants, making this an important opportunity to share within our communities.

Please help spread the word by sharing this opportunity with students, families, educators, mentors, and community partners in your network. Together, we can help open doors for the next generation of healthcare professionals. 💙
