JAMP PROVIDES PREPARATION & SUPPORT FOR ADMISSION TO MEDICAL SCHOOL

Texas College continues to offer opportunities and pathways for students interested in medicine and careers in healthcare. In this regard, the College is pleased to continue its 18 - year membership with the Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP). JAMP is a uniquely Texan pipeline for students interested in becoming physicians. The program is designed to minimize challenges for highly qualified, socioeconomically disadvantaged Texas resident students by providing the finan- cial support and mentoring necessary for success. Specifically, the program helps students achieve their dream of becoming a physician through: · Support through undergraduate scholarships and summer stipends; · Placement into JAMP Summer Internship experiences; · Hands - on experience through clinical enrichment opportunities; · Comprehensive, multi - phase Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) preparation program; · Personal and professional development through dedicated mentoring; · Guaranteed admission to a Texas medical school if all criteria are met; and · Scholarships to attend medical school.

Additionally, the JAMP Partner Advisors will:

· Assist the school in recruiting eligible undergraduate students for admission to the program; · Establish an application process for admitting eligible undergraduate students to the program; · Award summer stipends to eligible participants to attend
