Kovac Student Support Application for Health Professions

This fund shall be used to provide direct financial support for undergraduate and/or graduate degree-seeking students with academic merit in the School of Health Professions at the University of Kansas Medical Center. To assist the University in building the diverse community that is essential to achieving its stated mission, the University may select recipients based on criteria that will contribute to the diversity of the student body. If the University determines it appropriate to consider for purposes of diversity, race, color, religion or creed, national origin or ancestry, gender, age, physical or mental disability, veteran status, socioeconomic status, or urban/rural may also be factors. The donor’s vision is that this fund benefits students from all walks of life. Support may include, but is not limited to, scholarships for incoming (recruitment) and current students, awards, fellowships, and teaching or research assistantships. If the fund should be a scholarship, the donor’s vision is to provide larger scholarships to fewer students. Preference shall be given to those with financial needs. The amounts and the recipients thereof shall be determined by an appropriate committee approved by the Dean of the School of Health Professions. The donor expresses a preference for a committee of at least three faculty members and a staff member from the school.
