The COVID-19 pandemic taught us a lot.

There were many tragedies and scary moments, but through it all, medical and healthcare workers were on the front lines, helping people in need. Medical and healthcare workers became heroes in the eyes of the people, not because they wore capes or had superhuman abilities, but because they saved lives in the face of true danger. The Najma Sultana Memorial Scholarship seeks to support students who are passionate about going into the medical field. The goal is to encourage students to pursue their desire to help those in need.

High school seniors are eligible to apply if they are first generation college students pursuing a career in the medical or healthcare field. Students must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher to apply. In your application, write about how you plan to help solve health issues as a way of preventing future pandemics.
