Your support empowers the next generation of health care professionals!
A KU School of Health Professions education is among the best in the world. With five graduate programs ranked in the top 15 nationally, KU provides the best place to train as health care professions are projected to grow by 15% from 2019 to 2029. Scholarships are the most effective way to directly benefit health professions students who have the talent and drive to be successful but cannot afford the rising costs of higher education. They provide the support our students need to thrive and the resources to succeed both during and beyond their time at KU.

The JaySTART Clinic is a student-run pro bono clinic offering free physical, occupational and speech therapy services to underinsured and uninsured populations in the Kansas City metro area. Students-in-training have the opportunity to work with licensed clinicians to provide rehabilitation services in person and via telehealth.

This spring, the clinic is raising funds to facilitate an array of initiatives including equipment and facilities improvements, scholarships for student administrators, compensation for medical interpreters and an expansion of the clinical space. 

Your contribution is crucial to their success. By investing in student education or in our community clinic, you provide students with opportunities for clinical skills development and training. These experiences foster cultural competence, enhance patient care and prepare our students to meet the evolving needs of tomorrow’s dynamic health care system.

Join us in empowering the next generation of health care professionals. Your support helps provide the resources they need to lead with knowledge, compassion and dedication. Together, we can make a world of difference!
