Our goal is to increase the number and size of rural scholarships to reduce the burden of student debt, attract and retain Kansas' best, and bolster diversity within our classes.
Support the JayDoc Free Clinic – The JayDoc Clinic provides urgent and preventative care to uninsured and underinsured populations of the Kansas City area. Staffed entirely by volunteers and KU Med students, it has served approximately 2,000 patients every year since it opened in 2003. Gifts to the clinic maintain this quality service to the Kansas City community.
