All this would never have happened, if you, individual Alumni, had not offered your generous donations to the PEHF!

We therefore call upon your kind assistance in making the Erik Holst Fund a sustainable project, created and run by IFMSA Alumni, by offering your kind donations using our PayPal platform. You may choose between an ONE TIME or a RECURRENT donation, although we would prefer the latter!

It’s so simple! For example, if every IFMSA Alumnus/a offered 1 Euro as a recurring monthly donation, we would end up with over 20.000 € to give away as GA scholarships and project grants each year!

Recent development: Revoking the scholarship for AM2019 due to awardee travel inability

Dear PEHF donors, friends, IFMSA Alumni and family,

We would like to inform you on a recent development regarding the change of the PEHF AM2019 GA scholarship recipient, due to last minute inability of the initial awardee, Mr. WUNDE from Cameroon to travel to the GA in Taiwan.

The PEHF Board decided to revoke the scholarship from Mr. WUNDE and instead award it to the 1st runner-up of the last applications evaluation process, that was:

Mr. Rajesh Sharma, from NMSS-Nepal!

Congrarulations goes to Rajesh, who recently attended the AM2019 and will be soon receiving the scholarship.

Stay tuned for more on Rajesh’s experience from the GA in Taiwan as well as more news by the PEHF in our upcoming newsletter issue!
