New ERHD Scholarship Students for Spring 2013

No comments

The ERHD program is continuing to grow and expand into new directions each and every semester. We have been fortunate to receive funding for student scholarships from two previous HRSA grants and now we are starting a brand new funding period from HRSA to support our student scholarships.

Now that the ERHD Scholarship Committee has reviewed all of the applications, we have awarded 4 ERHD Scholarships for Spring 2013. Each ERHD scholarship student has displayed a special commitment and focus on the issues of ethnic and rural health disparities and that’s why they were awarded this very special scholarship.

The 2013 ERHD Scholarship recipients are: Samantha Kinney, Erica Payton, Tiffany Cox, and Shanekia Blackshear. Congratulations to all the recipients! We also want to thank our sponsor again — Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
