Medical students in the Class of 2026 at Texas Christian University’s Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine will enjoy full tuition coverage for their upcoming spring semester.

In a recent announcement, TCU revealed that an anonymous family has generously contributed $1.8 million to fund the students’ final semester of medical education.

This exciting news was delivered to the students through a Zoom call by Stuart D. Flynn, the founding dean of the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU.

“The donors wish to ease some of the financial burdens associated with medical school and empower you to make informed decisions as you transition into residency,” Flynn stated.

“I can’t wait until I’m in a position one day to do that for the school and for future students,” he continued.

Another fourth-year medical student, Courtney Franz, said she’s relieved: “This is just one less thing that you have to carry with you every day.”

“I can just really focus on caring for patients,” she added.

The release notes that students are in the final phase of the Anne Burnett School of Medicine’s Empathetic Scholar curriculum and are currently participating in clinical rotations across the country as they prepare to interview for residency spots.

The school was founded in 2019 and has around 180 students.
