The Reasons

Reason #1: Scholarships Allow Students to Follow Their Dreams

A day for dreaming and destiny

Sheila Eghbali, MD '22, emigrated from Iran to the United States as a teenager. It proved to be a formative moment in her life. "Ever since I was in high school, I knew that I wanted to go into medicine." Once Eghbali was admitted to the School of Medicine, she received the Primary Care Fellowship to cover her full tuition, making her dream a possibility. "I'm so grateful to everyone - the students, the faculty, the administration," Eghbali said. "When I was a teacher, I worked with at-risk kids with a history of trauma who came from underserved populations. I want to help them. I want to help all communities. Family medicine will give me a chance to do that."

Reason #2: Scholarships Allow Students to Pursue Their Passions

Emmanuel Dwomoh MD, '25, from the Bronx, New York, was the recipient of the St. Vincent's Medical Center Primary Care Scholarship. Considering projected physician shortages in primary care, scholarships are critical to meet this important need. Students with significant debt burdens may avoid lower-paying specialties like primary care, even if it is their passion. Click on the image of Emmanuel to hear his message of gratitude.
