Medical student scholarships

Medical student debt is a significant challenge. CMU medical student debt is among the highest as compared to other Michigan medical schools. Scholarships directly fund student education and ease their financial burdens into their practice years. Students with a lower debt load are more likely to choose primary care specialties, a treatment area of significant need for the state.

The College offers opportunities for partners to support through endowed scholarships, annual scholarships and naming opportunities.


Capital for growth and expansion

The capital raised through this effort will expand our ability to instruct our students, train residents, and better connect health care education across the region to build on the pool of Michigan doctors, expand access to care and grow our economy.
