Class of 1993 < Back
 

Before we know it, Reunion Weekend will be here, and our class will be gathering to reconnect with classmates, share family photos, and reminisce about our years together in medical school. To celebrate the 15th reunion of our graduation from the Indiana University School of Medicine, the Class of 1993 Reunion Committee asks that you join us in establishing the Class of 1993 Scholarship.

For years, the School of Medicine has attracted bright and compassionate students. You know that, of course, because as a member of the Class of 1993, you were among them. By establishing a scholarship, we can ensure the school remains competitive and continues attracting the most promising future physicians. Let me explain how.

As I'm sure you are aware, medical school is more expensive than ever. While tuition at the School of Medicine is below the mean for comparable public medical schools, today's students are graduating with an average of $150,000 in debt. As a result, some wonderful students are choosing to attend other medical schools that can offer more scholarship support. The Class of 1993 Scholarship will help prevent that.

Best of all, our scholarship will continue supporting students generations from now. Because the scholarship is endowed, gifts will be invested in perpetuity. A portion of the income from interest (approximately 5 percent) will support an annual scholarship, while the remainder will be added back into the principal as a watershed against inflation.

Endowing a scholarship at the School of Medicine requires a $100,000 commitment. We are already off to a great start - $10,000 that was left over from our class account in medical school has been donated to kick off our efforts. If we all contribute, we can raise enough to fully endow our scholarship by our 20th reunion!

Please help make this happen. A gift of $5,000 can be made over a five-year period.  There are several ways to make your donation: credit card, cash, appreciated stocks and various planned giving instruments.

We shared wonderful times at the School of Medicine. Because of the knowledge and skills we acquired, we now enjoy challenging and rewarding careers. With our gifts to this endowed scholarship, we will ensure the next generation of physicians enjoys the same opportunities. Please make your pledge today. Thank you.

Best regards,

Gregory C. Risk, M.D.
