I started my career as a humanitarian aid worker and witnessed more suffering than I was prepared to see. The lack of health care was omnipresent and it was these experiences that inspired me to become a doctor. Because I received a scholarship, I can continue to help those in need. I feel truly blessed and thankful for the support of GW alumni like you."
I have always been passionate about health equity and education, and I believe that everyone should have access to quality care. That is why I wanted to become a PA. The cost of going back to school was overwhelming. Thankfully, I was selected to receive the Patrisha C. Creevy, PA-C Scholarship. Because of her generosity, I received scholarship funds that enable me to focus on my studies and reduce my financial burden. I am so grateful for her support and the support of the greater GW alumni community."
I am so honored and grateful to receive my GW scholarship. The generosity of alumni donors truly demonstrates a commitment to service, to community, and to the profession—commitments that I share. My dream is to break new ground in PT research, serve as a PT volunteer in needy communities at home and abroad, and provide the most up-to-date and evidence-based care to my patients. With this scholarship, I can continue to pursue learning experiences that will enable me to improve the lives of others. Thank you for your support and encouragement."
As a practicing pharmacist, I have witnessed the emerging need for more holistic approaches to health. People want to understand their options for preventing illness and managing their conditions outside of medication. A lot of wellness misinformation exists, and most pharmacists aren’t trained in integrative medicine. My goal is to become a naturopathic pharmacist so that I can provide diet, nutrition, lifestyle, and medication information to patients—a more holistic approach to healing and wellness. I am so thankful for my scholarship.
