Scholarships

Supporting the next generation of oncologist and cancer scientists

Each year, IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center awards significant awards from two prestigious scholarship funds to medical students who are making promising achievements in cancer care and research.

Merilyn Hester Scholarship

Supporting MD, PhD, or MD/PhD students whose research or clinical interests relate to pediatric oncology or pediatric hematology.

William J. Wright Scholarship

Supporting second- and third-year medical students conducting cancer research who wish to pursue a career in the care of patients with cancer.

A scientific discovery is a wonderful achievement, but if we can’t make a novel therapy accessible to all patients, then our work is far from complete.
