The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has received a $1,050,000 gift commitment from Primepares “Prime” G. Pal, M.D., to create a College of Medicine scholarship in honor of his late father.
The Dr. Agaton P. Pal Scholarship is designed to support medical students with an academic background in the social sciences, or medical students with a demonstrated commitment and passion to community service or social work. It will initially award $10,000 annually to one UAMS medical student.
