Congratulations to eight M.D. students awarded Swindells Scholarships

October 21, 2015

Earlier this year, eight OHSU M.D. students were selected as the newest Swindells Family Scholars, one of the School of Medicine's most prestigious M.D. scholarship awards. 

The Swindells scholarships began in 2010 when the school received the largest single scholarship gift ever in its history. The $10 million gift to establish an endowed M.D. scholarship program creates a perpetual source of financial assistance for outstanding students who have a high probability of positively contributing to Oregon's future. The anonymous donor named the fund "The Swindells Family Scholars Program" in honor of the long history of support OHSU has received over multiple generations from the Swindells family.

The eight 2015 scholars have unique histories and strong connections to the state, reflecting the goals of the scholarship fund. They all display a commitment to using their talents to give back to Oregon. 

"We are extremely grateful for this support for medical education and look forward to seeing what our newest Swindells students accomplish in medical school and in their future careers," said Tracy Bumsted, M.D., MPH, associate dean for undergraduate medical education.
