Project HOPE, a global health organization committed to empowering health care workers, has established an endowment to support the Dr. Charles A. Saunders/Project HOPE International Residency Scholarship Program. Through this scholarship program, selected medical resident physicians are offered, through a competitive application, a full scholarship funding a two-to-four week supervised global health elective at a Project HOPE international program site. The scholarship is offered to resident physicians from North Carolina’s four academic medical universities: Duke University, University of North Carolina, Wake Forest University, and East Carolina University.
