This year’s FUTURE conference will be held Thursday-Saturday, July 30-August 1, in Kansas City, MO.
Each year, the OAFP Foundation (Foundation) and American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation (AAFP Foundation) fund scholarships for medical students to attend FUTURE. This financial assistance helps offset the cost of registration, travel, lodging, and meals.
New in 2026 – Students, if selected, can receive BOTH an AAFP and an OAFP Foundation scholarship for a total of $1,200 to fund FUTURE travel expenses. Students can receive an AAFP scholarship (separate application) only once in their medical school career, there is no limit on OAFP Foundation scholarships.
