The scholarship banquet is a celebration of food, drinks and entertainment to respect a variety of cultures. The funds raised go directly toward financial need-based scholarships for TTUHSC School of Medicine students.
Last year, more than $26,000 was raised which went to two scholarships as well as building an endowment.
Cost for the event is $40 for students, $125 for individuals or $1,000 for a table of eight. The event will feature a seated dinner, silent and live auctions, photo booth and entertainment performances. Attire is cocktail or cultural dress.
SNMA is one of the nation’s oldest and largest independent, student-run organizations focused on the needs and concerns of culturally diverse medical students. Membership includes more than 8,000 pre-medical and medical students, residents and physicians nationally.
The TTUHSC School of Medicine chapter of SNMA participates in various projects including mentoring high school students, organizing a community health fair, working with the undergraduate community, and helping improve medical school curriculum and admissions.
