Syvertsen Fellows and Scholars Program

Named for former Dartmouth Medical School dean Dr. Rolf Syvertsen DMS ’23 and established by alumni in 1984, the fund offers scholarships to six exceptional fourth-year medical students annually. Recipients of the program personify the values of academic accomplishment and scientific rigor, a passion for learning, and a love of medicine.

It is these values that the Syvertsen Scholars and Fellows program seeks to recognize and perpetuate at Geisel and that have become deeply embedded in the culture of the medical school. Scholars are nominated by a faculty committee, and a Fellow is selected from among this group by the Syvertsen Memorial Committee, composed of fellow and scholar alumni. Awards to the Syvertsen Scholars and Fellows are funded by contributions to the Rolf C. Syvertsen Memorial Fund.
