The deets:
We are blessed with 4 wonderful sponsors who are helping us make this trip happen!
1. Nuveen Scholarhip: This requires an application form, a reference form to be filled out by a faculty memner, a CV, a statement of goals, an official transcript (make sure to request this atleast 2 weeks in advance), and a submission of hte current Student Aid Report to determine financial need. We can get up to $500!
2. Henry Schein: This requires you to go to Tanzania, know Dr. Evans, (hope he's heading the program), and some luck that the Henry Schein folk are in a giving mood. We can get up to $500!
3. Guate Scholarship: We were reimbursed what the guate kids payed for flight. Requirements: be nice to Khatijah and pray to be lucky. We can get upto $500!
4. Mid Winter Meeting: Yes, you work to earn this one, but this year its worth around $300! Make sure you sign up early!
5. HPSC travel grant: for those of you starting rotations -- you can get money every quarter! Up to 200-300$! Filling out this application is a doozy. Good luck.
