St. Elizabeth Healthcare has given the University of Kentucky $2.5 million for a tuition scholarship program at the medical school UK plans to open in Northern Kentucky two years from now. The nonprofit health-care firm is part of the effort to create the school, which will also be affiliated with Northern Kentucky University.
“In providing these scholarships, we are making an enormous investment in the future of the health of our community,” Garren Colvin, president and CEO of St. Elizabeth, said in a UK news release. “With our partnership with the University of Kentucky, we will be able to provide additional benefits to both organizations as well as the region and commonwealth by directly assisting in medical school support and recruitment for the Northern Kentucky campus.”
The scholarships will be go to medical students who remain enrolled full-time at the Northern Kentucky campus, meet the college’s financial need requirements and remain in good academic standing and progress toward completion of the M.D. degree.
“This scholarship program, seeds sown in ground made fertile by a willingness to care for others, will ripple through many generations of health practitioners,” UK President Eli Capilouto said in the release. “We are grateful to St. Elizabeth’s leadership and the donors who support this remarkable gift, one that will directly support medical students, and ultimately the patients whose names the donors may never know. That is the highest form of giving, and it is the highest honor we can receive as a partner in this endeavor.”
