—— Kind Words From the Scholarship Award Recipients ——
"Thank you so much for the $1,000 grant...the check arrived along with a tuition bill I had no way to pay. Words cannot express the relief and gratitude I experienced...I certainly hope that some day I can help extend the same generosity to another student that you extended to me."
Suzanne Boyd, 1994
"These scholarships truly help people
who are in dire need of money
...with this contribution (award), I will be able to continue with my
PA schooling...now I feel as though I can say that I will make a great
physician assistant."
Michael Johnson, 1995
"I would like to thank...the PA Foundation and all the volunteers who helped to raise the scholarship money. It is appreciated deeply and will go to good use! I would love to volunteer in the future to help..."
Nancy Caillonette,1997
"As you may know, being a PA student
can be financially stressful. Many of us sacrifice 2 years of lost income
in order to pursue a physician assistant career. It also means taking
out Federal as well as other alternative loans in order to pay for tuition,
books, equipment, and university fees on top of living and transportation
expenses.
>
It is the generous donations to your foundation that help me as well as
my peers reach their academic and career goals. As I start into my clinical
year, I am comforted knowing my financial outlook is brighter. I am greatly
appreciative for the financial gift."
Jeannie Schrage, 1998
Please
note that Mercy College of Detroit
(later University
of Detroit Mercy)
and Western Michigan University began their PA Programs in 1972,
while Grand
Valley State University, Central
Michigan University,
and Wayne State University stared
their Programs in 1995.
When
a PA Program is not listed for any given year,
it indicates that the Foundation did not receive
an application from a student from that Program.
