An Anonymous $50M Gift Will Cover some Tuition for Medical Lab Students at University of Washington
The gift will fund clinical-rotation tuition for 35 students annually and expand the program from 70 to 100 students, addressing a critical regional workforce shortage.
- On Dec. 1, an anonymous Washington state donor committed more than $50 million to support the University of Washington Medical Laboratory Science Undergraduate Program, covering seniors' clinical-rotation tuition for decades.
- Faced with an aging workforce and rising demand, UW leaders cite an urgent need to grow the pipeline of clinical laboratory professionals, with accreditation reviewers urging substantial program expansion.
- Over the next half-century the gift will provide annual disbursements to the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology Fund for Excellence, estimated at about $8,000 to $10,000 per student.
- Students responded that the donation relieves financial burdens, allowing them to focus on clinical rotations instead of juggling jobs, said Dr. Tim Dellit.
- The donation positions the program to strengthen lab capacity across the WWAMI region by funding department hiring of teachers and trainers and expanding program plans.
