Who Are Smith Scholars?

Overview

Smith Scholars are all physicians or medical students who have several factors in common:

  • Each received a scholarship from the Florence L. Smith Medical Fund of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation between 1952 and today
     

  • At the time of their scholarship they were long-time Virginia residents
     

  • Each attended or is attending a medical school in Virginia in order to earn an M.D. degree

Since the Smith Scholarship started in 1952 nearly 700 physicians have benefited from the generosity of the late Florence L. Smith. These physicians have amassed a significant track record of public service to their patients and their fields.
