Beyond financial aid, the program also provides mentorship, academic guidance, and opportunities for community service through FAJIM’s health outreaches.

• Provide academic guidance and study strategies
• Offer career development advice and exposure to different health fields
• Build leadership, ethics, and soft skills
• Encourage scholars to take an active role in community health and volunteerism
