Philanthropy from donors like you fuels advances at the School of Medicine, a leader in research, education and patient care. From student scholarships to endowed professorships to groundbreaking research, your support allows WUSM to make local and global impacts on health care.
Give to the Annual Fund
The School of Medicine Annual Fund supports student scholarships, academic programs, departments and student initiatives. Regardless of size, gifts to the Annual Fund are unrestricted and, when pooled together, allow leadership to respond to the highest priorities and unforeseen opportunities.
Support student success
Our students are chosen not just for their academic talent but for their driving passion to change the world through medicine and bioscience, and they choose WashU because our mission and strengths match their desire to improve lives. Student debt, however, is a national challenge. Alleviating student debt allows students to choose their career path based on their talents and passions rather than for financial reasons. Through Make Way: Our Student Initiative, we’re committed to building critical resources for new scholarships; we need your help to get there.

Empower our faculty
Endowed professorships help us recruit and retain outstanding physicians and scientists who are essential to the School of Medicine’s continued success. Our faculty members are recognized nationally and worldwide as leaders in their fields and on campus as committed teachers, mentors and collaborators. Their countless efforts to advance knowledge, improve care and save lives encompass all of biomedicine and range in scope from the molecular level to whole populations. Through an endowed professorship, you can support an academic or research area of special interest to you for years to come.

We think it’s important for individuals who can afford it to help fund medical research. If you find out that a family member has a serious disease, don’t just sit back and think it’s too big for you to do anything about. Every gift helps get ideas for new treatments off the ground.
