Proud Parent of Burnett School of Medicine Graduate Is Challenge Donor for TCU Gives Day


Michelle Clatterbuck, a longtime TCU supporter and proud Horned Frog parent,  is the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University's challenge donor for TCU Gives Day 2025.

Michelle Clatterbuck, a longtime TCU supporter and proud Horned Frog parent,  is the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University’s challenge donor for TCU Gives Day 2025. She has generously committed $100,000 in honor of her daughter, Carter Clatterbuck, M.D. ’25, an Obstetrics-Gynecology resident at UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas.

Inspired by the education, mentorship and support Carter received, Michelle established the Clatterbuck Family Endowed Medical School Scholarship in 2023. Her goal is to ensure students from all backgrounds have access to the same opportunities that shaped her daughter’s journey.

“TCU’s medical school is building something extraordinary,” Michelle said. “I wanted to help remove financial obstacles for students who will go on to serve their communities with compassion and excellence.”

Michelle recently retired from a 20-year career at Intuit, serving as chief financial officer from 2018 to 2023. With insight into both financial barriers and strategic investment, she understands that the cost of private medical education can be a major hurdle, especially for student whose diverse backgrounds are essential to the future of health care.

In a strong show of continued support, Michelle has added another $100,000 to her endowment and hopes to grow the fund to eventually cover full tuition for a student. She challenges the TCU community to join her on Gives Day by making gifts that support deserving students and help build a future generation of empathetic physicians.
