“Receiving an MLS scholarship removed some of the financial stress of paying tuition, allowing me to focus more on learning and being involved in student groups. It was also meaningful that someone believed in my ability to become a strong leader within the laboratory community. I’m grateful for this opportunity that has helped me progress my education and career.”
At the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine, our Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS) program advances health through excellence in education, discovery, and compassionate care.
We invite alumni and friends to support MLS scholarships and invest in the students who sustain the foundation of every diagnosis.
Scholarships help reduce financial barriers, allowing students to focus on mastering critical skills and expanding access to laboratory careers for learners from all backgrounds. Your gift is more than financial support — it is an investment in excellence, opportunity, and the future of laboratory medicine. Together, we can ensure patients continue to receive reliable, high-quality care.
