Massey Energy - Marshall University Scholarship Program

Massey Energy started its Doctors for Our Communities program in 1997 in cooperation with Marshall University for the purpose of sponsoring and providing financial assistance to medical students at the university's School of Medicine.

Each calendar year, one incoming candidate for an M.D. degree at Marshall may be selected into the program.  The candidate will receive a loan each year in an amount up to fifteen thousand dollars for each school year, not to exceed a total of sixty thousand dollars during the course of the candidate’s M.D. program. 

The goal is to bring doctors to areas in which we operate and if the student maintains a practice of primary care medicine for a period of at least seven years in a WV or KY coal field community in which Massey has an operation (currently Boone, Logan, McDowell, Mingo, Nicholas, Raleigh, and Wyoming counties in WV; and Martin and Pike counties in KY) the loan is forgiven. Candidates are selected by representatives of the University and Massey.

 
Preference will be given to graduates from high schools located in any of the counties listed above.  However, all students entering Marshall will be considered.  It is not limited to Massey dependents.
