The Wisconsin Academy of Family Physicians-Foundation is excited to announce that we will be providing $800 scholarships for Wisconsin medical students to attend AAFP's FUTURE Conference on July 30-August 1, 2026, in Kansas City, MO.
FUTURE is the national conference for the future of Family Medicine. Don’t miss the unique opportunity to network with other medical students from across the country, listen in on cutting-edge continuing medical education sessions on the latest in Family Medicine, and to connect with future residency programs and employers.
Scholarships are limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for students at each of Wisconsin’s medical schools. The deadline to apply is April 30, 2026.
*Note: Applicants for WAFP - Foundation scholarships must also apply for an AAFP scholarship. AAFP scholarships supersede WAFP-F scholarships, so students can only receive one scholarship to the conference. Students who receive an AAFP scholarship will be eligible for a $200 supplemental scholarship from WAFP-F to ensure all students are given the same opportunities.
Recipients will be asked to submit a brief summary of their experience that will be shared with donors. Scholarship checks will be awarded at the FUTURE Conference. If you are unable to attend the FUTURE Conference, your scholarship will be forfeited.
If you have any questions, please contact Madeline or call (262)-512-0606.
Dedication
The call for dedicated, caring family doctors in Wisconsin is more important now than ever before as there are growing concerns about the future workforce. In an effort to engage and educate medical students about the opportunities in family medicine, the WAFP-Foundation is aiming to send 50 students to AAFP's FUTURE Conference.
Importance
We all know the importance of this project in ensuring a strong future for family medicine in Wisconsin. As an academy, we have a significant influence in determining the success of this campaign. In eleven years of supporting this program, we have provided funding for 442 students to attend FUTURE (formally National Conference), and 87% of those students have matched in Family Medicine. That is an incredible return on investment!
