The Trailblazer award at AUC was created to support and reward students who demonstrate dedication, grit, academic persistence, and strong academic outcomes during their course of study. The initial award offers a scholarship of a minimum of $35,000 over 8 semesters with a maximum scholarship possible of up to $80,000 by achieving key academic milestones (escalators) throughout the MD program. (All amounts in U.S. dollars)
Initial Award Eligibility:
- Acceptance into AUC MD program beginning in Semester 1. Successful MERP completers are ineligible for this award.
- Students who are accepted into the AUC MD program and have met all requirements to secure enrollment through deposit or exemption (e.g., eligible partnership) for their place will be automatically considered for this award; students need not apply for this scholarship.
- This award cannot be combined with other scholarships/grants.
- There are limited awards available for the January 2025 semester and awards will be granted to eligible students in order of the date of seat deposits or exemption, until all available awards are exhausted.
- Must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, with an MCAT score of 495 or better.

- A one-time housing credit of $5,000 towards accommodation in AUC on-campus housing for one medical science semester.
- The housing credit is applicable only within AUC on-campus housing and is non-transferable.
Continued Initial Award Eligibility:

shall be awarded an additional $25,000 in scholarships to be equally distributed between the clinical science semesters six (6) through ten (10) as denoted by student’s clinical science semester designation.
The escalators defined above are stackable with each other and with the initial scholarship award to produce a maximum award of $80,000.
Continued Academic Milestone (Escalator) Award Eligibility:
- Students on an approved absence may retain eligibility for the award and escalators subject to the discretion of the University Dean. If the timeline for meeting the requirements is delayed due to circumstances attributable to AUC, as determined by the University Dean, the student will not lose eligibility for related Academic Milestone (Escalator) Awards.
