For more than half a century, the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) has prepared physicians and researchers to lead the way to better health for Nevada, the nation and the world.
UNR Med improves the health and well-being of all Nevadans and their communities through excellence in education, clinical care and research. Gifts to our medical school support the advancement of health care through investment in the education of future physicians, researchers and health care leaders.
Scholarships reward students who are committed to and focused on achieving their educational goals, and provide critical relief for the hardships faced when pursuing a career in medicine. Financial support of a student's medical journey affords them the opportunity to focus on the experiences that shape confident, compassionate and excellent physicians.
