All In for Students Campaign Raises Funds For Scholarships
The All In For Students Campaign raises scholarship funds for students at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix. Last year, faculty and staff from the college donated enough money to award scholarships to 10 aspiring physicians. This year, the goal is to provide 15 scholarships.
First-year student Diep Nguyen, who received a scholarship from last year’s campaign, said he was honored and grateful to receive an award.
“Each day I tell myself how fortunate I am to be at a school where everyone truly wants you to succeed. The generosity is alleviating the financial cost of my education, which allows me to better focus my energy and resources toward becoming a good physician.”
In addition to asking for support from faculty and staff, this year’s campaign hopes to reach donors from outside the college.
All gifts, large and small, will make a difference. Giving is easy. Make an online gift or for University of Arizona employees, download a form to give via payroll deduction or check (PDF).

About the College
Founded in 2007, the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix inspires and trains exemplary physicians, scientists and leaders to advance its core missions in education, research, clinical care and service to communities across Arizona. The college’s strength lies in our collaborations and partnerships with clinical affiliates, community organizations and industry sponsors. With our primary affiliate, Banner Health, we are recognized as the premier academic medical center in Phoenix. As an anchor institution of the Phoenix Bioscience Core, the college is home to signature research programs in neurosciences, cardiopulmonary diseases, immunology, informatics and metabolism. These focus areas uniquely position us to drive biomedical research and bolster economic development in the region.
As an urban institution with strong roots in rural and tribal health, the college has graduated more than 1,000 physicians and matriculates 130 students each year. Greater than 60% of matriculating students are from Arizona and many continue training at our GME sponsored residency programs, ultimately pursuing local academic and community-based opportunities. While our traditional four-year program continues to thrive, we will launch our recently approved accelerated three-year medical student curriculum with exclusive focus on primary care. This program is designed to further enhance workforce retention needs across Arizona.
The college has embarked on our strategic plan for 2025 to 2030. Learn more.
