R U Giving Day - April 24, 2026 


R U Giving? Together, we can make this moment matter. Your support fuels dreams that can open doors, ease financial burdens, and shape the future of our students. 

Support our students through the scholarships listed below.


NJMS Scholarship Support Fund: 
We believe that every aspiring medical student should have the opportunity to excel, regardless of their financial means. Your gift to scholarship will help unlock the potential of students who may otherwise be deterred by medical school’s high costs. By investing in our students’ education and well-being, you are investing in the future of health care, ensuring that the medical profession becomes a beacon of diversity, inclusivity, and excellence.


George F. Heinrich, MD Memorial Scholarship: For more than 30 years, Dr. Heinrich served as associate dean for admissions at NJMS. He mentored students, transformed medical education, and led with deep compassion. He pioneered early clinical exposure and personally called every newly accepted student, often on weekends and holidays, including Christmas Day. “Medical school is a family activity,” he once said. “Students need support.” His belief in personal connection and human-centered medicine shaped generations of NJMS graduates. In honor of Dr. Heinrich’s legacy and the values he instilled in our community, the George F. Heinrich, MD Memorial Scholarship Fund will help future students pursue medicine with the same compassion, commitment to equity, and dedication to service that Dr. Heinrich exemplified.
