Have you read about the 25 percent increase in tuition this coming academic year? Or that the average indebtedness of our graduating students is up to $100,000? It will cost each student of the Class of 2003 nearly $30,000 for this year alone! We really need your financial support to continue to provide student scholarships.
 
Since our first scholarship in 1988 for $500 to a single student, we have been able to continue to award scholarships on an annual basis. Last year, seven deserving students each received $5000. Thank you for your continued support! Your donation of any amount is an investment in the lives of our fellow health professionals. Each and every past recipient is incredibly appreciative. Our Alumni Association is now over 3,000 members strong…if each member donated $50, this would amount to $150,000! We can do it with your help. Your Alumni Association is only as strong as those who support it. We need your help today!

If you have recently visited Tupper Hall, you have probably seen the impressive “Dean’s Honor Roll of Donors.” For a pledge of $5,000 or more, a perpetual plaque recognizing the donor(s) will be permanently placed on the wall. (See photo below.)

Thank you!
