Student Loans
Designed to assist students in funding their education at a medical school in Wisconsin, the Foundation’s private student loan program is interest free during medical school, offers a fixed interest rate that matches the Federal Direct Loan program, offers generous deferral options and charges no loan origination or early repayment fees. Individual loan amounts are $7,000 per year for a maximum of three years during medical school. Click here for loan application materials.
Summer Fellowships
The Foundation’s Summer Fellowship program supports important physician-directed research or health education in critical public health areas, while also providing medical students with learning opportunities. Medical students—including those who also are pursuing a Master of Public Health—may apply. Learn more on our website or email Elizabeth Ringle or call her at 608.442.3789.
