| “I am so thankful and honored by the U-M Club of Denver and the scholarship committee for selecting me for this scholarship! I cannot express how lucky I am to be supported by such a wonderful community of fellow Wolverines. I am planning on majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biomedical Science with a minor in Environmental Science. I am interested in researching the effects of pollution and environmental crises related to health and the risks of certain diseases, particularly in low-income and minority communities. I cannot wait to continue the next four years at the University of Michigan! Go Blue!” | “I am beyond honored to have been selected as a recipient of the 2022 Denver Alumni Club Scholarship. As a Colorado native (born and raised here my entire life up until the moment I left for U of M last year), I appreciate and understand the Colorado-spirit which is unlike anything else and will always be “home”. I will strive to pay forward this blessing as I pursue my dream of becoming a nurse. Eventually, I would love to specialize as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and act on behalf of the preemies who don’t have a voice of their own. Once again, I can not say “thank you” enough. This is such a special gift that will be greatly appreciated for years to come!” | “I’m very grateful to the U-M Club of Denver for this award. I treasure my communities in Colorado and at the University of Michigan, and to be recognized by an organization that straddles both places is a special honor. I look forward to keeping the connections alive as I move through my program at U-M and beyond.” |

| “I want to thank the UM Club of Denver for this amazing scholarship opportunity! Even though COVID-19 has made this year very challenging, I am nonetheless still excited to begin college and to explore new interests. I plan on majoring in Biophysics, eventually to pursue a career in medicine as a physician and a researcher. As I venture through the next chapters of my life, I will remember and always be grateful for the support the UM Club of Denver has given me. Go Blue!” | “Thank you so much to the scholarship committee and UMCD for their time and consideration. I am so excited to be a recipient of this scholarship and to continue my time at Michigan as I embark on my curriculum as a public health major! There is no better place that I can think of to be during this time to receive a public health education. In the future, I hope to call attention to and to dismantle health inequalities and inequities, and work to bring social justice to the forefront of our healthcare and medical system. GO BLUE!” | “I am sincerely honored to be selected as the recipient of the UM Alumni Club of Denver Scholarship. As I begin my journey to pursue a Ph.D. degree in biomedical sciences at the University of Michigan, I am grateful and appreciative of the generous support from the club. This award will give me an opportunity to gain skills and tools that will prepare me in my career as a researcher. Someday, I aspire to be a research scientist and a professor who directs clinical trials for novel therapeutic interventions for human diseases. Additionally, I hope to create outreach programs that will bridge the gap that limits the disadvantaged students from the educational opportunities they deserve. As always, Go Blue!” |
