In honor of our U.S. News & World Report No. 1 national ranking for the percentage of alumni practicing in underserved areas, Dr. Mike Ribadeneyra ’96 and his wife, Evelyn, have pledged $100,000 to establish a scholarship for underrepresented medical students at the SOMC, but their first payment of $25,000 will be unlocked on Give 4 Garnet only after we as a SOMC family secure $25,000 to match their initial gift.
We need your help on May 18 as we #StriveFor25 and make this scholarship a reality! That’s why we’re aiming to raise $25,000, which will double the impact of the Ribadeneyra’s initial gift and boost the SOMC’s efforts to do what it does best – educate the next generation of medical professionals who have a passion to practice where they will make the most impact.
The need for quality health care professionals has never been greater, and our work to grow tomorrow’s health care workforce for the nation has never been more important.
Join the Ribadeneyra’s today by making your gift to support the SOMC, and help us in our #StriveFor25 to raise $25,000.
