BCMS ALLIANCE

Bexar County Medical Society Alliance

Scholarship Recipients

By Brittany Garcia, BS, MHA, President-Elect, BCMSA

Every spring our immediate BCMS Alliance Past President contacts Bexar County Medical and Allied Health professions schools to seek
out applicants for our scholarships. Scholarship funds are typically disbursed in late July/early August to the winners’ 4-year, Bexar County
school, and traditionally BCMSA holds a fall event to recognize the winners. Thank you to our past and current members for keeping these
scholarships going!

Congratulations to all of our 2023 BCMSA Scholarship Recipients.
