All of our admitted students are automatically eligible for a range of scholarships. Approximately 50% of each incoming class will receive a scholarship. One exciting initiative is our Dean’s Scholars program. Each year the Admissions Committee selects applicants who have demonstrated outstanding potential for leadership in medicine through academic achievements, community engagement, research and altruism. M1 students are also invited to apply to be a Dean’s Scholar at the end of their first semester. Dean’s Scholars receive: . Four-year, full tuition scholarship . Fifth year funding for those who pursue a dual degree . Automatic enrollment in the School’s Healthcare Engagement and Leadership Program (HELP) As part of the Healthcare Engagement and Leadership Program, Dean’s Scholars are granted a unique opportunity to leverage the abundant resources and expertise of the U-M Health System to improve their leadership skills and be better positioned to transform health care in the United States and abroad. Through HELP, Dean’s Scholars: . Connect early with faculty mentors to develop career and research interests .
