Scholarships

The collaboration between our scholarship donors and students creates a winning partnership for all. Scholarship contributions offer foundational support for our future physicians, presenting donors with one of the most fulfilling giving opportunities, while addressing a critical competitive need for Northwestern’s medical school.

Funding a scholarship can be tailored to each donor's unique circumstances and motivations. You might consider making an outright gift or a planned gift, such as through your will or trust, to maximize both your generosity and the impact of your investment. Whether you aim to support students at various stages of their medical school journey or wish to honor or memorialize a friend, colleague, or family member, scholarships can serve as a meaningful connection and contribution, benefiting both the student and a special cause.
