Fox19: 40 UC medical students to receive full-tuition scholarships thanks to $6.9M gift
New scholarship will honor two college alumni and will support Ohio-educated students
Forty total medical students at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine will be the beneficiaries of the Webster-Gustin Medical Scholarship Fund thanks to one of the largest donations in the college’s history.
A $6.9 million gift made in honor of Warren Webster, MD, and Byron Gustin, MD, was able to create this scholarship that will help 10 students per incoming class over the next four years.
“Dr. Webster and Dr. Gustin are outstanding physicians who have remained here in Cincinnati for their education, training and career. They are incredible role models for our students. We are honored and proud to have this scholarship recognize them,” said Andrew T. Filak Jr., MD, senior vice president for health affairs and Christian R. Holmes Professor and Dean.
