Clinique and the Skin of Color Society Foundation (SOCSF) announced a scholarship program to broaden access to the specialty of dermatology at the recent 21st Annual SOCS Scientific Symposium. 

The Dermatologists of Tomorrow Scholarship presented by Clinique and SOCSF provides financial support and mentorship to medical students who are committed to achieving health equity in their pursuit of a career in dermatology.

Kelly Fanning, SVP, General Manager, Clinique North America, said, 

“Our hope is that this scholarship will identify and support outstanding medical students who have demonstrated a passion for serving underserved patients and in doing so will foster a more inclusive and representative future for the field.”

The Dermatologists of Tomorrow Scholarship will provide scholarship support and mentorship to a projected 100 medical students over 3 years.  

Clinique and SOCSF will focus on supporting students and their educational endeavors by structuring a program to reduce the financial burden of applying for a dermatology residency. 

The distribution of funds focuses on grants to provide financial support for the expenses incurred during the residency program application process, including application fees, travel and lodging associated with doing dermatology rotations at other institutions, interview costs, and conference fees.

In addition to financial aid, this program will also offer mentorship from dermatology professionals to enhance career development, the residency application process, and long-term success in the field.
