11th Annual White Coats-4-Care Scholarship Event Raises

$600,000 to “Dress and Equip” FAU’s Newest Medical Class

Generating a record-breaking $600,000 in scholarship funds to support the newest class “Recognizing that raising medical scholarship funds is an essential mission, it was
of medical students at Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine, the especially poignant and inspiring to gather again as a community after nearly two years of
College’s annual White Coats-4-Care (WC4C) major scholarship fundraiser was hosted in pandemic impact,” shared Co-Chair Bonnie Kaye, who with Kaye Communications (KCOM-
mid-December at the new Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence. PR) partner Jon Kaye, has co-chaired WC4C for 11 consecutive years since its inception.
With the average cost of a medical education reaching $250,000 in-state to $400,000 out-
of-state, 80-85% of the College’s talented students require financial assistance. Heavy debt
often impacts both a student’s choice of medical school as well as their medical specialty
based on its income potential to repay loans.
“Scholarship monies raised through the annual White Coats-4-Care initiative give
students the ability to follow their hearts, not their debts, into lifelong medical careers,”
noted Co-chair Jon Kaye. Since its inaugural reception, White Coats-4-Care has raised
more than $1.5 million.
This year, Ann and John Wood committed $400,000 to support 10 medical students in
the Class of 2025 as part of the inaugural year of the Robert A. Wood FAU Medical Scholars
Fund. This visionary fund will support these deserving students through all four years of
medical school. At the reception it was announced they will be doubling their commitment
for next summer’s incoming class of 2026 to total $800,000 to support 20 medical students
for all four years.
“It is because of the generosity and dedication of our community, we can continue to
attract the best and brightest medical students from a diverse array of backgrounds, and
