Scholarship Recognition Event

Scholarships change lives. Whether you've received a scholarship, created one or both.

It was a condition of Johns Hopkins' bequest that such support be provided for students "most deserving of choice because of their character and promise." The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, its alumni and its friends remain committed to this same tradition of philanthropic support for its current student body over 100 years after Mr. Hopkins made such provisions in his will. Scholarships play a crucial role in attracting the exceptional students that continue to make this a top-rated medical school. From the day the Johns Hopkins University enrolled its first class in 1876, scholarships have been provided to excellent students who otherwise might not have the means to attend.

The Scholarship Recognition Event brings together School of Medicine scholarship donors and scholarship recipients. Students have a chance to say a personal and heartfelt "Thank you," and donors have a chance to see the impact on the lives their investment makes. Personal stories abound, connections are made, and lasting friendships are created.

On April 4, scholarship donors, recipients and faculty involved with the medical student experience gathered for the 2024 Scholarship Recognition Event. Donors representing 35 scholarships at the School of Medicine had the opportunity to visit with recipients over dinner following remarks in the Anne and Mike Armstrong Medical Education Building. The Lisa S. Bunin, M.D., Endowed Scholarship Fund was featured and guests heard from both Dr. Bunin and current Bunin Scholar, Ria Gupta.
