About

Empowering Egyptian Medical Graduates on the Path to U.S. Residency

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

The ABCDE Grant Award Program is a special initiative created to support Egyptian medical graduates as they navigate the challenging journey toward U.S. residency training.

We understand that the residency application process can place a significant financial burden on applicants, even when they are highly qualified, motivated, and committed to advancing their careers. Through this program, ABCDE aims to ease some of these barriers and help deserving candidates move one step closer to their goals.

This grant reflects our mission of supporting the next generation of Egyptian physicians and investing in future leaders who will contribute to healthcare in both the United States and Egypt.

What Is the Grant?

The ABCDE Grant is designed to provide financial assistance to Egyptian medical graduates applying for U.S. residency programs. The grant may help cover essential parts of the residency application process, including:

1
ERAS application fees
2
NRMP registration fees
3
USMLE transcript requests
3
Visa-related expenses
5
Other residency application-related costs
Why This Program Matters

We encourage applicants who are serious about pursuing residency in the U.S. and who would benefit meaningfully from financial support to apply.

Every year, many talented Egyptian medical graduates work tirelessly to pursue residency training in the United States. For some, the greatest obstacle is not ability or dedication, but the financial cost of the application process. ABCDE believes these candidates deserve support, encouragement, and access to opportunities that can help them succeed. Through this grant, we hope to stand beside applicants during one of the most important stages of their professional journey.
