Scholarships have become a critical component in financing the medical education of tomorrow's physicians.
Decreasing state aid and the increasing cost of providing our best and brightest students with a top caliber medical education have converged to create an environment where tuition rates can become a major burden for students. Your support through scholarship contributions can have a positive impact on the future of these promising new physicians and on the quality of healthcare throughout our region. Through the support of generous donors, in 2008, 246 students received scholarship assistance totaling $2.4 million. With your help, even more talented students can realize their dreams.
"Thank you for your generous contribution, I feel so blessed to be here at the School of Medicine and am thankful to you for making an investment in my future as a physician."
