Giving to the College of Medicine

There are several ways to contribute to the College of Medicine. Whether you choose to fund a scholarship, create an endowment, or donate to the Dean’s Aesculapian Society, you can make a difference in the lives of many future doctors and their patients.

Charter Class Scholarship Program
The Charter Class scholarship program is the first of its kind in the U.S. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) the UCF College of Medicine has made medical college history by providing four years’ tuition, fees and living expenses to the entire inaugural class of 40 students.

Continuing Need for Scholarships
We are grateful to those members of the Central Florida community who have funded the scholarships for the class entering in fall 2009. Because we will continue to compete with more established medical schools for the best and the brightest students to attend future classes, there is a continuing need to help students with the cost of medical education.

We encourage contributions from donors who wish to fund scholarships for deserving students into the second and later classes of the M.D. Program. You can support a single student for one to four years – tuition only or tuition and living expenses.

There is also the option of endowing a scholarship (see below) that can live on in perpetuity, helping an untold number of students. Learn more about scholarships.

Dean’s Aesculapian Society
The Dean’s Aesculapian Society is a special group of benefactors who demonstrate strong dedication to and support of the College of Medicine Members participate in the life of the College, forming the basis of a collaborative effort through their personal involvement and annual contributions to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence.

Planned or Matching Gifts

Whole Body Registration Program
Doctors have relied on the study of the human anatomy since the practice of medicine first began. A frequently overlooked area of need is that provided by individuals who bequeath their remains to a medical institution. Whole body donations help with research, the study and cure of disease, as well as with lessons of anatomy and physiology.

This program allows donors to make a huge difference in a student’s education.
To donate, please contact the Anatomical Board of the State of Florida:
