Vijay Kamalumpundi, University of Iowa

It is because of organizations such as yours and the generosity of people comprising your organization that helped me get to where I am today at the U of I. Without scholarship patrons willing to support higher education, students such as myself would be unable to pursue health care degrees that are crucial in order to work in the field. Your scholarship will go towards my tuition and allow me to buy books which have placed an immense burden upon my family's financial resources. The willingness of JBMSF to provide scholarships to minority students not only highlights the kind-hearted nature of those who contribute to the fund, but also serves as a beacon of hope for those who like me, seek to serve humanity but may not necessarily have the adequate resources to do so.
