Name: A. D. and Peggy Hewlett and Colonel David R. Inman Medical Scholarship

Award Amount: Varies

Information And Eligibility:
The A. D. and Peggy Hewlett and Colonel David R. Inman Medical Scholarship is a targeted financial award managed by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to support students pursuing careers in medicine and related health care fields. This scholarship honors the legacies of A. D. and Peggy Hewlett and Colonel David R. Inman — individuals recognized for their service, leadership, and contributions to community health and welfare — by helping aspiring medical professionals advance their education.

This scholarship is designed to assist students who plan to enroll in an accredited medical degree program, physician assistant program, nursing school, or other health-related professional training at a college or university. Recipients are selected based on their academic performance, leadership potential, dedication to health care, community involvement, and clear long-term commitment to serving patients and communities through careers in medicine or allied health professions.

Applicants are evaluated holistically, with particular attention given to academic excellence in science coursework, volunteer or work experience in clinical or community health settings, and personal statements that articulate a well-defined vision for their medical or health care career. The selection committee values students who demonstrate not only scholarly ability but also evidence of empathy, resilience, teamwork, and a deep understanding of the demands and responsibilities of a health care profession.

Scholarship funds are intended to help offset the high cost of health professional education, including tuition, required fees, textbooks, supplies, lab equipment, and other education-related expenses. Because medical and allied health programs can be financially demanding, this scholarship provides meaningful financial support that helps reduce student debt and allows recipients to focus on their rigorous academic and clinical training.

In addition to financial support, recipients are often recognized within the Middle Tennessee philanthropic community, which may enhance their academic and professional networks. Students who clearly connect their personal experiences and motivations to broader goals in improving community health and patient outcomes tend to be especially competitive.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be a graduating high school senior or current college student.
• Must plan to enroll in or be enrolled in an accredited medical, physician assistant, nursing, or related health professional degree program.
• Strong academic record, particularly in science and health-related coursework.
