Margaret Owens-Waite Memorial Fund
The Margaret Owens-Waite Memorial Fund (MOWMF) was established in 1986. Dr. Margaret Owens-Waite bequested monies to the Federation for the purpose of supporting education.
In 1991, the criteria for the MOWMF scholarships was updated. These $1,000 scholarships are available to full members of the FMWC that meet one of the following three criteria:
1. a practicing physician who wishes to further her medical education/skills ;
2. a practicing physician who wishes to temporarily leave her normal place of work to serve in a rural / developing country ; or
3. a physician selected to present an original paper at a recognized medical meeting,
priority preference being a Medical Women's International Association (MWIA) Congress.
Each year, the Treasurer will inform the Awards Committee of the number of $1,000 scholarships available. With this knowledge in hand, the Award Committee will review all received applications and makes its recommendations to the board at the Interim and/or Annual Board Meetings. Should there be more applications than available scholarships, priority will be given to practicing physicians, applicants in financial need, from rural areas and/or applicants pursuing education closest in keeping to the FMWC vision statement. Deadline dates for applications will be just prior to the Interim and Annual Board Meetings. Once a board decision is reached, the Awards Chair will notify the applicant of their success.
