An anonymous donor family has provided a one-time merit-based gift to current students of the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University.

This incredibly generous gift award is based on academic excellence and covers a portion of this year’s tuition for students who are eligible, said Natalie Lundsteen, Ph.D., Assistant Dean for Student Affairs at the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU, who announced the tuition gift to students in the class of 2024, class of 2025 and class of 2026.

Academically eligible students will each receive up to $20,000 toward their fiscal year 2024 tuition, Lundsteen told the medical students. The donor family recognizes the financial burden placed on medical students and wants to ease that debt burden, she said.

Second-year medical student Lauren Hui was elated to hear the news: “It’s something that I never even expected. I think it’s such a phenomenal gift.”
