Gifts to the Annual Fund allow us to immediately address changing needs, but it is possible to direct your gift to a particular area of interest.
Annual Giving Scholarship Fund
In today’s challenging economic times, more and more medical students are in need of financial assistance in order to attend medical school. Approximately 70 percent of our medical students receive some form of financial aid. Your gift to the Annual Giving Scholarship Fund provides immediate funding which will allow the School of Medicine to attract and retain the best and the brightest students regardless of their financial need.
School of Medicine Annual Fund
