I will be a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year medical student in the fall. ; I plan to enter the field of Family Medicine. ; I plan to practice Family Medicine in West Virginia for at least two years (only one year if I will be a 4th year medical student) upon completion of my residency training program. ; I am in financial need and/or have student debt.

A student receiving an ESP Loan promises to specialize in the field of Family Medicine, and upon completion of his/her intern or residency training, he/she promises to practice in the state of West Virginia for two years upon completion of his/her intern or residency training, unless awarded the scholarship as a 4th year medical student, in which case he/she must promise to practice in the state of West Virginia for one year upon completion of his/her intern or residency training.

After one to two years of practice is completed, the Family Medicine Foundation of West Virginia ESP Fund agrees to waive repayment. If the recipient fails to fulfill the agreement, he/she will be obligated to repay the scholarship plus interest.

“Am I Eligible to Apply?” ; I will be a third or fourth year medical student in the fall. ; I plan to enter the field of Family Medicine. ; I plan to practice Family Medicine in West Virginia for at least one year upon completion of my residency training program. ; I am in financial need and/or have student debt.

If you answered yes to all four questions, you are eligible to apply for the Tully Scholarship. If awarded the Tully Scholarship, you will receive a check in the amount of $3,000 each semester you remain in good standing in medical school. If you are interested in Family Medicine and meet the eligibility requirements as detailed above, we encourage you to apply for a Tully Scholarship today!

Dr. Tully graduated from West Virginia University School of Medicine and Medical College of Virginia. He was in private practice in South Charleston for 26 years, but two years of the twenty-six years were spent in active duty during the Korean War.

He was the Founder and Director of the Kanawha Valley Family Practice Residency Program, where he inspired and trained many young Family Medicine Residents. He has been a member of the West Virginia Academy of Family Physicians since April 1, 1949.

In 1994, Dr. C. Carl Tully and Margaret Tully established an irrevocable, Charitable Remainder Unitrust Fund. Due to their faith in the leadership of the Foundation and their shared similarity of goals, Dr. and Mrs. Tully chose the Foundation as a recipient of 25% of the trust fund with West Virginia University Foundation and the University of Charleston as the recipients of the remainder of the fund.

Originally, the Unitrust was not to be distributed until after their deaths. However, they have initiated a change and the funds will be distributed now, so they can “give flowers” while they are still among us and see the benefits of their generosity.

As a result of this change, the Family Medicine Foundation received funds in the amount of $199,337.73 in June 2006. The principal amount will remain in the fund with the annual interest being used for medical student scholarships or for use of any CME activity for medical students and Family Medicine residents. At a fixed rate of five per cent, the fund should generate about $10,000 per year.

Both Dr. Tully and Margaret possess a great love for the specialty of Family Medicine and an unselfish desire for West Virginia citizens to have access to quality, affordable healthcare through a caring and well-trained family physician. Although they do not seek publicity for their generous gift, they have agreed to some recognition as a means of encouraging others to establish a similar fund. Establishing a Charitable Remainder Trust Fund is a way to give to your choice of worthwhile charitable endeavors and prevent much of your estate from going to the government for taxes
