Funding Opportunities
Scholarships
The average medical student graduates with more than $168,000 in student debt — an amount that can take decades to pay off and can adversely affect a young graduate's career choices. Currently, the College of Medicine can provide scholarships to just 16 percent of all students — a percentage we wish to increase.
