Wake Forest University School of Medicine Endowed Scholarships

Scholarships: How Alumni Can Pay It Forward

Alumni are often motivated by a desire to create a legacy at their medical school while simultaneously “paying it forward” for a medical student to benefit from an endowed scholarship. Scholarships support our role as an academic medical center to inspire students toward their goals as future doctors, nurse anesthetists, physician assistants, researchers — where they will touch thousands of patients, improving lives year after year. They will join generations of physician leaders educated in the Wake Forest University School of Medicine tradition of rigorous training, innovative research and deep compassion. This Q&A will help you understand how you can help our students reach their goals through an endowed scholarship.
