A local organization is having trouble finding students to apply for its scholarship fund, just days from the deadline.

EAST LANSING, Mich. Some medical schools in Michigan are increasing their class size because they're receiving an influx of applicants during a time marked by a shortage of physicians. Meanwhile Michigan State's medical school, which has a class size of about 200 students, said it's at capacity. MSU would be required to hire more faculty and expand at its East Lansing and Grand Rapids campuses to increase their class size, Maurer said. For the incoming class of 2019, six of Michigan's medical schools received 43,602 applications, up 4,193 from 2018 and up 15,157 from 2014, which likely reflect prospective students submitting applications at multiple medical schools, the Lansing State Journal reported. The college received 6,653 applications in the last window, Ruger said, which is up from the 6,169 applications in 2019.
