Looking to the Future Scholarship Celebrates 20 Years

The STS Looking to the Future Scholarship program is a best-in-class education and workforce development program that helps general surgery residents and medical students pursue careers in cardiothoracic surgery. The primary goal of the scholarship is to provide mentorship and exposure for medical students and general surgery residents interested in pursuing careers in cardiothoracic surgery.

Since 2006, 946 aspiring cardiothoracic surgeons have received LTTF scholarships. The Society celebrated 20 years of the program during the 2026 STS Annual Meeting in New Orleans.
