Dr. Robert Steven Ledley Endowed Scholarship Fund

This fund provides partial merit-based scholarships for Fall incoming students enrolled in either the master’s or M.D./M.S. in Systems Medicine. Scholarship recipients are chosen by the program director.

The fund is established by the National Biomedical Research Foundation and the Ledley family in memory of Dr. Robert S. Ledley, a visionary scientist, inventor of the first whole-body CT scanner, and pioneer of computer medicine and medical informatics. Dr. Ledley was a professor of physiology, biophysics, and radiology at Georgetown University from 1970 to 2005.
