Williams Gift Boosts Financial Aid Initiative
A recent gift from Senior Vice Chancellor R. Sanders "Sandy" Williams, MD'74, HS'77-'80, and his wife, Jennifer, PA'74, will help move the Duke Medicine Financial Aid Initiative to within $500,000 of its $12 million goal.
In August, the couple gave $100,000 to establish the R Sanders "Sandy" Willaims, MD and Jennifer Scheid Williams Scholarship Fund in the School of Medicine. The gift will be matched by the Duke University Financial Aid Initiative for a total of $200,000.
The Williams gift brings the total raised to date to $11.5 million. The three-year campaign, which will end December 31, 2008, is part of a $300 million University-wide campaign for need-based scholarships, which includes $245 million for undergraduate students and $55 million for graduate and professional students.
