A South Asian student of Indian heritage enrolling full-time in his/her second, third, or fourth year at an accredited Pennsylvania medical school will be eligible for a scholarship beginning in 2003.

Dr. Jitendra Desai stated, “It is our desire to assist other medical students of Indian heritage realize their ambitions of becoming physicians.”
My wife and I are starting this fund in the hopes that others would wish to donate to it so students can learn about the benefits of becoming a doctor.
