Knowledge of
Spanish for health
care professionals is
no longer an option:
It is a necessity. To
think otherwise is to
not understand the
nature of delivering
high-quality health
care in the modern
world.

We are happy to announce that Mayan
Medical Aid is able to provide
scholarships to 50 students over 12
months, starting November 1, 2007.
The scholarships are matching grants for
students who spend between two and
eight weeks taking our Medical and Dental Spanish elective in
Santa Cruz La Laguna, Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.
Electives start every Monday. And the match is 60/40: students
pay 60% of the elective cost and the scholarship provides the
other 40%.
Rules:
• The scholarships are granted on a first-come, first-served
basis to students having financial need.
• Granting of the scholarship, however, is not dependent on
when the student participates in the elective.
• After the eligibility is confirmed and requirements are
satisfied, payment of the student portion of the fees confirms
the student's place in the elective and the granting of the
scholarship.
Eligibility:
• Medical Students: 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, or 4th-year
• Dental Students: 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, or 4th-year
• Nursing Students: any year
• Other Health Care Students: any year
• Pre-Medical Students: 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, or 4th-year
