“Scholarships and loans for the 2022 session will be granted upon approval by a four member committee of the Medical and Dental Council along with two external co-opted members. A trust with an independent board will be set up by January 2022 to manage the PMC National Scholarship Fund on a permanent basis. The National Medical Scholarship Fund Regulations have been uploaded on the PMC website and the application form is also available. The last date for submission is December 4.”
