Vanderbilt Giving Day 2024: Give. Go. Help. Share.

School of Medicine

Join us in celebrating the spirit of generosity and community on Vanderbilt Giving Day 2024. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a testament to the power of collective action.

When you choose to give to School of Medicine, your gift will directly support:

  • Scholarships for diverse and talented students, ensuring we attract the finest scholars, regardless of their ability to pay.
  • Research opportunities for faculty to advance groundbreaking discovery and improve patient health care outcomes as well as innovative approaches to medical education.
  • The White Coat Fund, which fuels many important activities that directly impact the lives of our students. A gift to this fund not only welcomes the incoming Class of 2028 during their White Coat Ceremony in July, but also supports student wellness activities and programming throughout their entire medical school experience such as Match Day, Cadaver Ball, Commencement and student participation at the Shade Tree Clinic.
  • Our students and faculty who are creating and implementing new knowledge that redefines our understanding of health, disease, public policy, and healthcare systems.

By giving, you join the entire Commodore community in making a significant impact on our school. Your contribution today will not only count toward our Dare to Grow campaign goal, but also fuel our mission for generations to come.

As we continue to build upon our legacy of innovation, inclusivity and trailblazing research, your support is crucial. Together, we can shape the future of our university and make a lasting impact. #VU4LIFE
