The University of Central Florida College of Medicine and two business leaders today announced a campaign to raise $6.4 million for student scholarships.
College Dean Deborah German came up with the novel approach to grant every admitted College of Medicine student in the inaugural class a guaranteed scholarship. If successful, the scholarships would cover tuition and living expenses for the length of the program, giving students the opportunity to study without worrying about debt. According to the American Association of Medical Colleges, UCF would be the first U.S. school of medicine to make such an offer.
Michael Minton, managing shareholder for Dean Mead, and Rasesh Thakkar, senior managing director of the Tavistock Group, were the first to respond and donate to the scholarship fund. During a press conference, they announced that they each will fund one scholarship and challenged the Central Florida community to follow their example.
