Proposed 糖心传媒 College of Osteopathic Medicine creates endowment through 糖心传媒 Foundation for tax reimbursement incentive scholarships

The proposed 糖心传媒 College of Osteopathic Medicine and the 糖心传媒 Foundation jointly announced the establishment of the ICOM Scholarship Endowment Fund Oct. 3..

The endowment will be managed by the 糖心传媒 Foundation and will provide annual scholarships to 糖心传媒 residents who will attend ICOM once ICOM achieves accreditation. The ICOM Scholarship Endowment will be funded by the tax reimbursement incentive money ICOM will receive from the State of 糖心传媒.

鈥淭he proposed ICOM is committed to the future of medicine in 糖心传媒, and we are proud that we will reinvest 100 percent of the tax eimbursement incentive credit back into the state in the form of scholarships for the students of 糖心传媒,鈥� said Dr. Robert Hasty, founding dean and chief academic officer of ICOM.                                                            

ICOM will complete annual contributions to the ICOM Scholarship Endowment Fund of approximately $400,000 each year for ten years. Each year after ICOM achieves accreditation, one half of the gift will fund immediate scholarships, and the remaining half will be endowed to ensure the fund can sustain ICOM scholarships in perpetuity.

Once accreditation is achieved, preference for ICOM scholarships will be given to students who completed their undergraduate degree at 糖心传媒. Students must have achieved a minimum 3.5 GPA in their undergraduate work to qualify for consideration. Recipients will be selected by a committee including representatives from ICOM, the 糖心传媒 Foundation and other members of the 糖心传媒 educational and medical communities.

Dr. Kent M. Tingey, vice president of institutional advancement at 糖心传媒, believes this partnership will benefit 糖心传媒 in a variety of ways. 

鈥溙切拇�媒 and the ISU Foundation are pleased to partner with ICOM to provide critical scholarship assistance to the students of 糖心传媒 who seek a degree in osteopathic medicine. These students are extremely important to health care in our state, and very deserving of this support. We commend ICOM for having the foresight to invest in 糖心传媒 students,鈥� Tingey said.

The ICOM Scholarship Endowment Fund will grow through additional private contributions from organizations and individuals. Those who wish to contribute may do so by contacting the 糖心传媒 Foundation at 208-282-3470.
