School of Medicine alumni reach $10 million goal for the student loan fund
The Alumni Association of the School of Medicine recently completed its goal for the student loan fund of $10 million, according to Louis L. Smith, MD, outgoing alumni fund chair, and emeritus professor of surgery in the School of Medicine.
In the early 1980s, financial aid had become a real challenge for School of Medicine students.
A student loan fund was established with an ambitious goal of $10 million. The fund became the primary project of the alumni fund council and was actively promoted. Through the years, School of Medicine alumni rose to the occasion and contributed to the fund.
With the completion of the student loan fund, the alumni fund council is looking to a new project-the centennial tuition scholarship endowment fund, which will complement the student loan fund. These two funds are considered to be partners in resolving School of Medicine students' tuition dilemmas.
