It is believed that the Doctor delivered approximately 9,000 babies during his fifty-six years of practice.  The Plante family, in establishing this Scholarship in his honor, stated, "May the students who benefit from the Dr. U.R. Plante Medical Scholarship have the same compassion and concern for their patients that Dr. Plante had for his."

The successful candidate must be willing to return to one of the above locations or to a remote part of the US or where doctors are needed to practice medicine.
