The College situated in Chicago, Illinois gives young surgeons an opportunity for a guest scholarship award from countries other than the United States or Canada who have shown tremendous interests in teaching and research to do a graduate or research program in the college.
The scholarships provide the Scholars with a privilege to visit clinical, teaching, and research activities in North America and to be part of the educational opportunities and activities of the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress. Beneficiaries of this scholarship get to be part of all annual educational opportunities and activities of the ACS Clinical Congress. The International Guest Scholarships must be used in the year for which they are designated. They cannot be postponed.

* Candidates are graduates of schools of medicine.
* Candidates must be at least 35 years old, but under 45, on the date that the completed application is filed.

* Candidates must have demonstrated a commitment to teaching and/or research in accordance with the standards of the applicant’s country.
* Surgeons who have just started out in their career are deemed more suitable than those who are
serving in senior academic appointments.
