If I received scholarship funding for this Primary Care track, and decide to transition out, do I need to repay the money?

Students accepted into the pre-matriculation PCAP Yuma program who transition out to the 4-year curriculum based on specialty change will continue to receive full college of medicine support in new specialty choice, however, may lose tuition funding for year four. 

Scholarship support for those who are enrolled in the post-matriculation pathway, when available, is typically funded through grants that may carry specific eligibility requirements. In general, if you complete your 3-year MD program and remain Primary Care bound, you will not be required to repay any scholarship funds that were awarded. The same is true if you transition to complete a 4-year traditional curriculum, provided you continue to pursue a Primary Care specialty.

Some scholarships, however, include a post-residency service commitment in Arizona. If you received funding tied to such a commitment and later choose a non–Primary Care specialty, the scholarship will end and may convert to an interest-bearing loan depending on the terms of the award. These stipulations ensure that limited scholarship resources remain available to students committed to practicing Primary Care in areas of greatest need.
