2023 Department of Pediatrics Academic Annual Report

Chu Family Educational Scholarship

In 2015, the Chu family donated a generous gift to Children’s of Alabama and the Department of Pediatrics to support educational initiatives. A portion of this donation was set aside to fund educational scholarships for pediatric fellows. The scholars are selected on a competitive basis by a selection committee comprised of leading educators in the UAB Department of Pediatrics. This year the selection committee for the Chu Family Educational Scholarship selected two fellows to receive educational scholarships. These awards will provide funds for tuition, books and fees related to their educational endeavors.
