Beyond the Classroom

Many Bastyr students dream of extending their studies beyond the U.S. borders, and the University offers many ways to help students to fulfill that dream. Bastyr's "venture grants" are one option. The grant awards give students a chance to develop innovative projects that will expand their knowledge of medicine and benefit the communities they visit.
