Financial support for summer classes needed to complete major and premed requirements. I sincerely thank the IFW awards committee for giving me this rare opportunity to financially support my educational goals.

The IFW awards committee has recognized my academic talents as a student in this position and thus has helped to advance me one step closer toward achieving my aspirations.
