Haney-Singleton/Deas Endowed Scholarship

Established in September 2021 by an anonymous donor in honor of Myra Haney-Singleton, Ed.D. and Deborah Deas, M.D. Without the mentoring of these extraordinary women, there are physicians practicing today who never would have been successful. Dr. Deas, former faculty member and interim dean for the College of Medicine, and Dr. Haney-Singleton, associate dean for student affairs and student wellness, worked together tirelessly to assist students through medical school hurdles, whether emotional, health, or academic difficulties. Both believe in “lifting as we climb.” This is a need-based scholarship awarded to an incoming student with continuation until graduation, pending satisfactory academic and professional progress.
