ACC Benevolence Fund

About this program

The American College of Cardiology Benevolence Fund provides one-time emergency grants of up to $1,500 to medical students, residents, and cardiology fellows facing unforeseen financial hardship, helping them remain on track toward a cardiovascular career. Applicants must be ACC members in good standing, enrolled in a U.S.-accredited training program, committed to cardiology, and able to document financial need caused by an emergency or other unexpected circumstance. Applications require proof of enrollment, identification, and signed verification of the emergency and training status from an ACC-member mentor or advisor and the program director. Funds do not support tuition, academic fees, conference travel, or professional and educational materials.
