Scholarships »
With the rising cost of education and shrinking available funding sources, it is imperative that scholarships be provided for both undergraduate and graduate students in order to provide monetary supplement for tuition and fees. Without scholarship awards many students are unable to attend a university due to financial constraints.
-
Faculty Development »
One of the most powerful tools for attracting and retaining excellence in educational leadership is the endowed faculty chair or professorship. Renowned faculty members attract other first-rate clinicians and scientists, as well as the most promising students. Distinguished chair and professorship holders also generate external support from public and private sources, bringing added prestige to the school and reducing the school’s dependence on tuition and fees.
