The Military Education Fund serves as the institutional fund of the National Defense Medical University (NDMU), similar to the university funds established at general higher education institutions, and is used to support the University's operations and development.
The name of the Fund highlights its distinctive mission, emphasizing that its resources are primarily dedicated to supporting programs and initiatives related to military education and its associated needs.
The Fund mainly supports the following areas:
Medical Research and Innovation
Funding medical research projects, particularly those focused on military medicine, combat casualty care, and healthcare services.
Academic Development
Promoting academic advancement through support for academic conferences and seminars, as well as inviting internationally renowned scholars to deliver lectures, thereby enhancing the academic excellence of faculty and staff.

The Military Education Fund is financed through multiple funding sources. In addition to support from the national defense budget, the Fund also includes self-generated revenues, such as tuition and fee income, corporate sponsorships, and other appropriate funding sources.
