2nd Year Medical Student Analissa Cox Awarded the Inaugural White Coat Scholarship

Analissa Cox, a second-year medical student and a graduate of the college's Pathway Scholars Program, has been named this year’s recipient of the White Coat Scholarship. Her passion to serve others began as a child. The $9,600 scholarship will help support her medical education.

This scholarship is made possible by the White Coat Sponsor Program. Each year, the college raises funds to buy each medical student's white coat. In 2018, the college exceeded its goal of $25,000, ultimately raising $27,405.

It is only through the tremendous generosity of the Phoenix community and the college's supporters that such success was possible; and it enabled the college to provide white coats to 81 bright students, as they continue their journey to becoming physicians and contributing to the health of Arizona communities and beyond.

The charitable gifts received for the 2018 White Coat Sponsor Program will allow the college to increase the scholarship to $13,000 next year.

"The special community we have built, dedicated to students and the health of all our neighbors, will continue to grow and impact lives. I am immensely proud to be a part of it," said Dean Guy Reed, MD, MS.

The college would like to thank everyone for their continued support.
