Student Support Program Information
The University of Washington School of Medicine is widely respected for the graduates it produces: intelligent, compassionate, skilled professionals who go on to serve our communities as doctors and as physician assistants. It's clear that the School of Medicine 's consistent No. 1 ranking in primary care — in annual ratings from U.S. News & World Report — is well deserved.
Still, recruiting and retaining students can be challenging — in part because of the expense of a medical education. An M.D. degree from the UW costs more than $160,000, and every year, roughly 87 percent of our students graduate with medical-school debt. Many have a debt load of $100,000 to $150,000.
Scholarships offer a solution. They allow more students to afford medical school, and they let graduates look beyond debt to consider vital but lower-paying medical careers like primary care, rural practice, and academic medicine. For this reason, we've made raising scholarship funds a priority during Campaign UW: Creating Futures.
If you are interested in contributing to scholarship, or in joining our scholarship and student support committee, please contact Caroline Anderson, Assistant Vice President for Development, at (206) 221-2899 or cmanders@u.washington.edu. Thank you for your interest in the future of medicine.
