We Are Medicine

The Jordan Scholarship Challenge

Campaign chair Henry Jordan, M’62, RES’67, and his wife Barbara have made a generous and innovative challenge gift to help the campaign met or surpass its goal of $100 million for scholarships. The gift will establish the John Morgan Scholars program, named for the founder and first professor of medicine at Penn’s medical school. Building on their long commitment of supporting scholarships at Penn Medicine, the Jordans, will match other donations to the new program, magnifying their impact. The Jordans also will match gifts to establish named scholarships.

By pooling contributions, the John Morgan Scholars program will increase the aid available for students with the greatest need. Endowed in perpetuity, the program will ensure that the School of Medicine can continue to attract the best and brightest students, in the tradition its founder, regardless of their backgrounds. This support also will expand their options for careers and service to the world after graduation.
