Giving Tuesday has become a tradition of giving following Thanksgiving weekend. This year’s Giving Tuesday is today, Nov. 29.
If donors wish to support important causes related to UNMC on this day or throughout this season of giving, there are ways to make a difference.
Show love for UNMC during the We ♥ UNMC Campaign. Gifts to this effort on Giving Tuesday or during this giving season will support the UNMC Student Scholarship Fund, making health care education more affordable for deserving students.
Donors who make a gift of $60 or more between Nov. 22 and Dec. 1 will receive a pair of exclusive UNMC socks as a token of appreciation. Give at this link.
Awarded by the UNMC Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, scholarships play a vital role in education, bridging a gap for students who are capable and driven to succeed but lack financial resources.
Danielle Dircks of Omaha is a recent scholarship recipient. She was notified of an award the summer before she started at UNMC, at a time when, like many, she was concerned about whether she’d survive the demands of medical school.
“Receiving this scholarship was an excellent reminder, not only of all the hard work that led me to where I was, but also of the extensive resources available to me throughout my journey to become a physician. I am very grateful,” Dircks said.
