Hero Scholars

Every Hero needs a chance to realize their dreams and YOU can help reward our community heroes’ aspirations to become healthcare professionals by funding a Hero Scholarship. Your contribution will make a life-changing impact on a future student. We need the next generation of healthcare providers to fill gaps in our healthcare delivery system. Join us and become a part of the solution. Donors that make a $5,000 gift will be matched by the University to create one $10,000 Hero Scholarship for an incoming student. All Funders wishing to be recognized will be honored and celebrated through a social media campaign, an article in spectRUm, a press release, media coverage and highlighted on our website and will be an honored guest at our Hero Brunch

Make a difference in the life of a student!
