EnMed Scholarships

The Brown Foundation offers School of Engineering Medicine (En Med) scholarships to a subset of Brown Scholars interested in pursuing a first-in-the-nation program that blends experiential learning in engineering innovation with medical school training to create a new kind of doctor, a Physicianeer. EnMed students simultaneously earn master’s degrees in engineering and medicine in four years. Through the E2EnMed Early Assurance Program, The Brown Foundation proffers high school candidates for conditioned admission to EnMed. Texas A&M has granted the Brown Foundation the right to have fifteen Brown Scholars annually matriculate to EnMed.

There are 13 Brown Scholars currently enrolled in EnMed and 36 Brown Scholars enrolled in the E2EnMed Early Assurance Program (E2EnMedEAP)
