Endowed scholarships

R. Dean Hautamaki, MD ’89

"My wife and I have come to a point in our lives where we can give back, and one of the most important things to us is education. She’s a teacher, and I’m a physician. We’ve both been actively involved in teaching throughout our lives.”

The Dr. R. Dean and Elizabeth F.
Hautamaki Endowed Medical
Scholarship will provide merit-based scholarships supporting
our medical students.

Future gator doc gifts

Maude Lofton, MD ’79

"Coming back to campus and meeting students, seeing their excitement about the specialties they’re considering and the education they’re receiving — it’s a really good feeling because you know you’re part of making a change.”

Dr. Lofton is a longtime champion of the
Willie J. Sanders Scholarship
and the Cullen W. Banks, MD,
Scholarship, which support
underrepresented minorities
in medicine.

Planned gifts

Dennis and Barbara Williams, MD ’75

"Every opportunity I have had in medicine has been because of UF. That is why Dennis and I are excited about establishing this scholarship. It is time to invest in the students.”

The charitable remainder
unitrust, or CRUT, established
by the Williamses allows the
couple to give a sizeable gift to
scholarships now that impacts
current students, while at the
same time providing them with
income. The remainder of the
asset goes to UF after 20 years.
