The Maxine Williams Scholarship Program provides educational assistance to deserving medical assisting students.

Named after Maxine Williams, a founder of the American Association of Medical Assistants and its first president, the program was established in 1959. The fund is supported entirely by private contributions.

The AAMA Endowment assumes administrative costs of the fund as a service to the public and to the medical and medical assisting professions.

To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must be enrolled in, and have completed a minimum of one quarter or semester at a postsecondary medical assisting program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). Additionally, the student must have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.

Awards of $1,000 and a one-year membership in the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) are granted based on academic ability and financial need.
