“I am honored to receive the GW Women’s Hospital Board Scholarship. I am a VBSN student in my second semester. I was born and raised in Uganda. My greatest aspiration is to be a Certified Nurse Midwife. My long term goal is to open my own birthing center where I can provide safer spaces for birthing mums regardless of gender, race, or color”.

“I’m very passionate about helping others with their personal training and nutrition goals. Building on that, as a nurse, I plan to work directly with patients in the ER, while also educating the community on preventative and primary care topics around obesity.”

“To me, being a nurse means being able to help underserved communities. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), and I want to work with the many patients that face a language barrier, providing them with opportunities to get good healthcare. I served my country in the Army for over 20 years–now I want to serve my local community.”  

 "It is an honor to be a recipient of this scholarship. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to take a step back from work in order to focus on my studies as a student in the accelerated Nursing Program. My long-term goal is to become a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. After many years of navigating my own hormone and health journey, I have a burning passion for helping other women on their journey to holistic health.”
