Supporters Give for Medical Student Scholarships

The School of Medicine and Dentistry's Endowed Scholarship Initiative surpassed its goal of adding $10 million to the endowment. David S. Guzick, dean of the School of Medicine and Dentistry, announced the campaign in 2004 as part of an effort to reduce the growing debt burden faced by medical students. More than 90 percent of the School of Medicine students borrow to attend. The average debt at graduation is more than $130,000. A $10 million increase could generate more than $500,000 each year in new scholarship aid. Due to the wonderful success of this scholarship initiative, it has been extended for another three years.
