Dear Lee, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation for being chosen as a recipient of the Dr. Alan V. Lee Memorial Scholarship. It means so much to be recognized in this way, and I'm truly honored and grateful for your support. This scholarship genuinely eases the financial challenges of medical school, enabling me to focus more deeply on my studies and my commitment to serving others. Your generosity empowers me to continue my journey without the additional worries that can come with student debt. My passion for promoting equitable healthcare access—especially in underserved communities—remains a guiding force as I work toward becoming a primary care physician. I'm honored to carry on Dr. Alan V. Lee's legacy through this scholarship. His dedication to caring for others in Philadelphia for over 30 years is incredibly inspiring, and I hope to follow in his footsteps by making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your belief in my goals fuels my commitment to give back and advocate for healthier, more just communities. Thank you, Vershawn Hansen

Dear Lee, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for choosing me as a recipient of the Dr. Alan V. Lee Memorial Scholarship. Being selected for this award fills me with immense gratitude and pride, and I’m honored to carry on Dr. Alan V. Lee’s legacy through this scholarship. This meaningful support has lifted a tremendous weight from my shoulders, making it possible for me to focus on my nursing studies and move forward without the constant worry of financial strain. After having to pause my education years ago due to hardship, it means so much to be able to return and fully dedicate myself to reaching my goal of becoming a Labor & Delivery Nurse. Caring for others has always been my passion, and my dream is to help ensure those who feel unseen or unheard receive the support and compassion they deserve. I believe this scholarship will help me achieve that, and I’m determined to give back to underserved communities just as Dr. Lee did throughout his remarkable career. Your generosity and commitment to uplifting students from underrepresented backgrounds inspire me to persevere and give my very best. I hope to one day support future nurses and doctors as you are supporting me now. Thank you so much, Makayla Allende
