HOUSTON, Texas - A new scholarship fund established by a leading Texas physician is now accepting applications from United States military veterans pursuing undergraduate education. The Dr. Andrew Gomes Scholarship for Veterans aims to provide financial support and recognition to veterans whose service has forged a strong foundation for academic and future professional success.
Founded by Dr. Andrew Gomes, a Diagnostic and Interventional Radiologist known for his work in the business and operations-side of PAD Management and of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) for traumatic brain injury, the scholarship reflects a commitment to supporting those who have served. The program offers a one-time award of $1,000 to assist a veteran with educational expenses.
The scholarship criteria are designed to identify individuals who are thoughtfully navigating the transition from military service to civilian life through education. Eligible applicants must be U.S. military veterans from any branch, including the Reserves and National Guard, and be currently enrolled as an undergraduate student at an accredited U.S. college or university.
A central component of the application is a 500-750 word essay. Applicants are asked to reflect on the prompt: “How has your experience in the military shaped your personal values, academic goals, and vision for your future? In what ways do you hope to lead, serve, or create impact in your next chapter?” Submissions will be judged on originality, clarity, and depth of insight, aligning with the scholarship's core mission.
The creation of this award stems from the professional and personal philosophy of Dr. Andrew Gomes. In his various healthcare businesses, Dr. Andrew Gomes focuses on efficient, high-quality, and cost-effective patient care and operations, principles he extends to this scholarship through a clear and merit-based selection process. He views the scholarship as an investment in disciplined leaders who have already demonstrated a capacity for service.
“The skills and perspective gained in military service are invaluable assets in higher education and beyond,” commented Dr. Andrew Gomes. “This scholarship is a gesture of support for veterans who are channeling their unique experiences into academic achievement and purposeful future goals.”
The application deadline for the Dr. Andrew Gomes Scholarship for Veterans is March 15, 2026. The selected recipient will be notified on April 15, 2026. All application materials must be submitted through the official scholarship website.
The scholarship is national in scope, welcoming applications from eligible veterans at institutions across the country. By easing a portion of the financial burden associated with higher education, the initiative seeks to contribute to the long-term success of veteran scholars.
Interested applicants and supporting organizations can find complete details, including eligibility requirements and the application portal, on the official scholarship website.
