Orthopaedic Giving

The University of Virginia Orthopedic Research Fund supports our orthopedic surgeon scientists as they perform groundbreaking research, provide the highest quality patient care, and educate tomorrow’s leaders in orthopedic surgery. Your support can:

• Speed groundbreaking discoveries to prevent and treat challenging orthopedic diseases
• Quickly move discoveries out of the lab and into the clinic
• Put more scientists to work on finding cures by establishing professorships to help recruit the most talented physicians and scientists
• Give our investigators the resources and equipment they need to search for answers

Your gift to support education is an investment in the future of healthcare. Endowment gifts are long-term investments aimed at securing the success of the Health System for years to come.

Fellowships & Scholarships

Examining a patient in the orthopaedic clinic.

In the face of rising tuition and fees, scholarships help UVA offer enrollment to qualified students regardless of their financial means. Equally important are graduate fellowships, which help us compete for the best students. A scholarship or fellowship may be endowed and named by the donor with gifts at two levels: $250,000 and $500,000.

Gifts of $2 million or more can endow professorships that enhance the scholarly pursuits of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. By providing salary support, endowed professorships allow UVA to attract gifted teachers and to retain those already on faculty.

Your contribution—no matter its size—can be used where the need is greatest, or you can designate an area that is especially meaningful to you.
