Scholarship | Peterson & Gieser Student Scholarship
CMDA had its beginning when George Peterson and Kenneth Gieser met at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago, Illinois in 1931. Both men had been experiencing a sense of loneliness in their Christian walk. The two began meeting regularly for prayer and Scripture reading every Saturday afternoon. Soon other medical students joined the two men, and CMDA was born.
Because CMDA values its healthcare students, we are pleased to announce the Peterson & Gieser Student Scholarship!

There will be eight scholarships available per year (two per CMDA region).
