MD Scholarships 

Invest in Future Physicians. Strengthen Care Across Utah. 

At the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine, we prepare physicians to serve communities across Utah and the Mountain West—especially rural and underserved areas—while providing exceptional academic and clinical training. 

Today, scholarships matter more than ever. With changes to federal loan programs and rising education costs, many medical students face growing financial uncertainty. For some, scholarships are the difference between pursuing medicine and putting their dreams on hold. 

 Your Giving Day support helps remove financial barriers for talented students from all backgrounds—allowing them to focus on learning, caring for patients, and preparing to serve where they are needed most. Scholarship funding also eases debt pressure, empowering graduates to choose careers based on passion and community need, not just loan repayment. 

When you give to medical student scholarships, you invest directly in future physicians—and in healthier communities for generations to come. 

"When I learned I had received this scholarship, I sighed with relief. As a 4th year student, I am applying to residency which is not cheap. I was already thinking about how many extra hours of work I would have to pick up to afford these applications. Now I don't have to limit myself to just a few programs, and can apply more broadly to residencies." - Mariam Atobiloye, 4th Year MD student
