Students Benefit From University Of Southern California’s Scholarships For Stem Cell Master’s Program

For one scholarship recipient in the master’s program in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, USC is just close enough to his mother’s house to commute and save on rent. For another, USC is thankfully far enough from her Ukrainian hometown to continue her education in safety. And for all five of this year’s recipients, USC is within reach, in large part, thanks to scholarship support.

“For our students, scholarships often mean the difference between attending or not attending USC,” said Francesca Mariani, faculty director of the master’s program. “By funding scholarships, the Dean’s Office and our generous donors are making a transformative difference in these students’ lives: enabling the best and brightest to further their educations through USC’s one-of-a-kind master’s program in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.”

Supported by the generosity of an anonymous donor who established the Cardinal Scholarship, and the Office of the Dean of the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the scholarships recognize need as well as academic achievement and community engagement.
