UVM Larner College of Medicine graduates are highly skilled and caring, and they contribute to human health in myriad ways. Donor-funded medical scholarships are vital to successful cultivation of a talented and diverse student body that enriches classroom and clinical learning environments, builds cultural competency and cultivates tomorrow’s skilled and compassionate physician leaders.

Every scholarship gift helps:

• Attract the best and brightest minds to medicine

• Bolster our region’s and our nation’s physician pipeline

• Create opportunities to diversify the physician workforce

• Reduce long-term debt, giving graduates more freedom to choose to practice in less lucrative specialties, in historically marginalized areas or in communities in which access to high-quality providers is limited

• Enable talented and deserving students to realize their dream of being a physician

“Donors who give to medical scholarships at the Larner College of Medicine have a huge impact on our ability to attract top applicants. The cost of medical education in our country is staggering. For many applicants, the financial aid/scholarship package becomes the deciding factor in where they choose to attend,” says Leila Amiri, PhD, associate dean of admissions, UVM Larner College of Medicine and assistant professor, Department of Psychiatry, UVM Medical Center.
