William J. Wright Scholarship Fund

Supporting the humanistic values of IU medical students

The William J. Wright Scholarship Fund at IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, established by the Walther Cancer Foundation, rewards second- and third-year medical students conducting cancer research who wish to pursue a career in the care of patients with cancer. This scholarship is awarded to students who have displayed strong humanistic qualities throughout their medical school career.

Each scholarship carries a financial reward and the expectation that the recipient will devote at least two months to a cancer-related project during their school year. Scholarship recipient projects range from lab experiments to health outcomes research to cancer awareness programs.
