One of UC Davis medical students’ biggest supporters
was longtime Leadership Council member Hank Fisher,
who passed away in August 2006. Fisher was
instrumental in starting the Leadership Council
Scholarship Endowment Fund.
“Hank was very interested in helping young UC Davis
medical students who needed financial support to
get through medical school,” said his wife, Nancy.
“He would become very emotional when reading
scholarship applications from medical students. He just
couldn’t believe how some applicants had overcome
incredible challenges in their lives and still had the
drive to go through medical school.”
Fisher’s goal was to continue to build the Scholarship
Endowment Fund so that many more UC Davis medical
students could receive considerable tuition assistance.
“Hank worked hard to build the fund to what it is
today,” Nancy said. “He would be so pleased and
proud to see how the fund is becoming a significant
source of support for them.” n
