A $25 million donation to the University of Washington School of Medicine Medical Student Education Program will establish a scholarship program to increase the number of physicians serving Native and rural communities. Philanthropists William and Carolyn Franke and their family have made a $25 million gift to create the Franke Medical Student Scholars Program. The program will fund scholarships, student support, and education programs for medical students committed to serving rural and Native communities in Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho.
