A $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a qualified medical student

Established in 1999, the Myrtle Siegfried, MD, and Michael Vigilante, MD Scholarship is awarded to a qualified first-year medical student residing in Berks, Lehigh, or Northampton County.

Applicants must be enrolled full-time in an accredited United States medical school.

The scholarship was made possible through a memorial contribution from Elena Pascal, Foundation trustee, and her sister, Carla Vigilante, in honor of their parents, Drs. Siegfried and Vigilante, who practiced medicine in Allentown for over 50 years.

"Through this endowment we have created a lasting remembrance of our parents and their achievements, and returned something to the profession that my parents so loved," Pascal said.

Scholarship application materials will be accepted beginning June 1 at the Foundation and must be received and postmarked on or before September 30. Applicants will be notified of the committee's decision by December 1.
