Frequently Asked Questions about our Sponsorship Program: - Who is paying into the EAMA Sponsorship Fund, and why? EAMA is a non profit, physician driven, scientific organization based in the United States. Our members and supporters donate their time as well as money to give back to Egypt by facilitating clinical and research opportunities in the US for promising Egyptian physicians and scientists. EAMA is not affiliated with any governmental organizations at this point.... - How many applicants is EAMA usually sponsor? It's variable every season. Financially, we typically sponsor 5-10 applicants per season. We sponsor a larger number of applicants academically. - I sent the required paperwork, now what? The Match Sponsorship Program application submission window is open until September 10, 2019. Between September 10 and 20, we will be interviewing eligible applicants who meet pre-specified criteria. - When does EAMA make its final selection from among the applicants? Final selection will be completed by September 25th, 2019. - When and how am I expected to pay the loan back? You are expected to pay the loan back in the form of installments within 2 years of starting your residency in the US. There is no interest on the loan. - What if I received the loan and did not match? We would not be sponsoring you if we did not think you have a high likelihood of matching. In the unfortunate event that you do not match, you are not obliged to return the money, though you are encouraged to do so when feasible. - Is EAMA sponsoring only Match applicants? No. We are sponsoring promising physicians and students applying to the USMLE steps, as well as intriguing research projects accepted in international conferences or peer-reviewed journals.
