Featured Fund for Day of Giving
Fundraising for scholarships is the College of Medicine’s highest priority. This fund provides much needed support for medical student scholarships based on either financial need or merit, student/alumni programming and other priorities.
Why Your Gift Matters
Medical school is a significant investment, and scholarships can change the trajectory of a student’s career. This fund provides need-based and merit-based scholarships, helping relieve the financial pressure that many students face. Reduced debt allows students to focus on training, choose the specialties that fit their passions, and ultimately better serve the communities who rely on them.
Impact in Action
Scholarships make a real difference in the lives of our students: 76% of 2024–2025 graduates carry medical school debt and the average debt among these graduates is $182,316.
