Dorothy Ross was the first president of the New York State Society of Medical Assistants. In 1992 Mrs. Ross donated funds to set up a $500.00 scholarship
award each year to a deserving medical assisting student. This winner of the
scholarship is announced at the annual convention of the society each year in the
Spring.
The past presidents of the society have collected money from the attendees at the
annual convention of the society to keep the fund going. The medical assistants
attending the convention each year have been generous in their donations.
In mid August of each year the Dorothy Ross Scholarship Committee sends
application forms to all CAAHEP accredited medical assisting schools in New York
State asking that the medical assisting instructors inform their students of this
$500.00 scholarship. If you are a medical assisting student and have not heard
about this scholarship, please ask your instructor if he/she has a Dorothy Ross
Scholarship Application Form that you can fill out and apply to the scholarship
Committee or download it from this website for consideration.
To be eligible, your documents MUST be received by January
21, 2012.
Notification of the award will be mailed after March 15, 2012.
