Fund the Part That Makes This Free to Every Student Who's Ready
Every dollar goes toward keeping the Academy running — mentor support, and the data and tool access every research area depends on.
As a nonprofit, NSM Academy accepts donations to support its general operations, but does not offer scholarships or tuition assistance to individual students — see the note on the Apply page.
Ways to Give
From a one-time gift to sponsoring an entire cohort in a specific research area.
General Support
Unrestricted gifts go where they're needed most that cycle — usually mentor stipends and general operating costs.
Any amount welcome
Sponsor a Research Area Cohort
Fund the mentor stipends, datasets, and tool licensing behind a full cohort of students in your foundation's disease focus — for example, underwriting everything the Rare Disease pathway needs to run for a year. Tuition itself is paid by each applicant; sponsorship covers the program costs around them.

Corporate Sponsorship
Support tool licenses, data access costs, or a named research-area fund, with recognition on the Academy site and at the annual symposium.
