Harry Kok Family

Mrs. Harry Kok established one of Calvin’s first named scholarships in 1952, honoring her late husband, Dr. Harry Kok, who was a 1922 graduate of Calvin College and the University of Michigan Medical School. After supporting 64 Calvin students over the years, this award has now become part of the Calvin College/University of Michigan Medical School Scholarship, which brings together Dr. Kok’s deep respect for both institutions and honors his love of medicine and care of people.

Upon being selected as a Calvin University Pre-Med Scholar, the recipient will receive a full tuition scholarship. The recipient will also receive professional mentoring and be a member of a cohort with other Calvin University Pre-Med Scholars, which will prepare them for success in medical school and their future medical career.

Each academic year, one first-time undergraduate student will be offered this prestigious opportunity through a highly competitive process including a thorough evaluation of their current academic abilities and career aspirations within the medical field.
