A passion for cancer research and a passion for education come together under the new Rogel Scholarships program. The initiative, funded as part of a $150 million commitment from Richard and Susan Rogel, supports fourth-year medical students interested in establishing a career in cancer research.
Three inaugural recipients were selected jointly by the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center and the Medical School’s Office of Admissions.
“Developing the next generation of cancer physician-scientists is a key part of the Rogel Cancer Center’s vision. It was a privilege to consider such amazing and inspiring candidates,” says Eric R. Fearon, M.D., Ph.D., Emanuel N. Maisel Professor of Oncology and director of the Rogel Cancer Center.
Each student will receive $50,000 in support of their fourth year of medical school.
