Dr. Marvin Stone, chief emeritus of hematology and oncology at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas and a clinical professor in the Harry W. Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology, along with his wife, Kathy, created the Marvin and Kathleen Stone Scholarship/Fellowship in December 2020. The endowment is intended to grow the impact of the Center for Values as it relates to how values, culture and humanities interact with medicine and science.
The scholarship/fellowship fund will be used to annually award undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships to students interested in studying in the field of humanities.
Applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:
The scholarship/fellowship committee will conduct an annual review of the recipient(s)’s progress. If the committee determines that the scholarship/fellowship recipient(s) is making sufficient progress toward a degree and has continued to meet the eligibility criteria, the student(s) may continue to receive the scholarship/fellowship until the completion of a degree at UT Dallas, but not for a period to exceed five years.

“These scholarships are meaningful because the study of the humanities is an important constituent of higher education,” Marvin Stone said. “Kathy and I believe the art is as essential to medicine as the science.”
After earning his MD with honors from the University of Chicago in 1963 and postgraduate training at Barnes Hospital and the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Marvin Stone came to Dallas’ Parkland Memorial Hospital in 1968 as a senior resident in medicine. He was on the faculty at UT Southwestern Medical Center for years and later served as the first chief of oncology and director of Baylor’s Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center. He is a past president of the American Osler Society and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the society in 2015.
