re: Parrett Scholarship Foundation

Dear Mrs. Buechler:

I am writing to request consideration for the Parrett Scholarship offered by The Parrett Scholarship Foundation. I believe I meet all of the qualifications as specified by the foundation.

I am presently a first-year student at Brown Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island. I graduated from Amherst College in 2005 with a bachelor of arts degree cum laude in Biochemistry. My career goal at this point is to be a primary care physician in a community-based hospital similar to the one where I volunteered during my college years. I hope to serve a multicultural patient population and specifically provide preventive care to adolescents and women. Since enrolling at Brown, I have participated in the Adolescent Health Education Project in which groups of medical students visit local high schools and community centers once a week to discuss health issues with …show more content…
While I am receiving some scholarship assistance, I am also borrowing from several student loan programs in order to cover my tuition and living expenses. Without additional scholarship assistance, my financial aid officer and I estimate that my educational debt at graduation will reach approximately $xxx (see attached debt profile). My parents are nearing retirement and will soon be living on a fixed income. They earn approximately $xxx per year and thus are able to provide only minimal support to my brother (who is in his second year of law school) and me. I am concerned that my mounting educational debt will preclude me from considering lower-paying primary care specialties such as family practice and

    Argument Analysis: Student Loan Debt

    While I agree that student loan debt is always in the back of a medical student’s mind, I disagree with the idea that it is a significant driving force for specialty choice or that it prevents people from entering primary care. Just as the data in this article suggests, I believe most medical students choose their specialty based upon personality fit and how well a specialty complements their interests, goals, and values. In my personal experience, enjoying a clerkship and feeling a connection with individuals within a given specialty increases the likelihood of considering said specialty, regardless of potential for monetary gain. Monetary gain may be a secondary factor for some students, depending upon their goals, however I do not believe…

    Radiologic Technologist Personal Statement

    I have always been fascinated with how the human body functions. Growing up in a third world country, where curable diseases were highly prevalent due to lack of trained medical professionals. I always knew I wanted to seek a career in the medical field. This dream became realistic when I came to the United States of America to finish high school. Coming as an immigrant with a minimal knowledge of the English language and American Culture, I spent my high school years learning English and struggling to adapt to the rigorous school curriculum. After completing high school, my life took an unexpected turn; I found myself working full time to support the needs of my family. Nonetheless, years later, my dream to pursue degree in the field of healthcare has flourished. By entering this field, I hope to make a positive contribution both locally here in Pennsylvania and globally.…

    The Duluth campus of the University of Minnesota Medical School has healthcare goals that closely reflect my own. This campus is well-known for training physicians to serve rural Minnesota, which is the type of community I wish to be a part of. I love how this school emphasizes the ability of its medical students to be compassionate, empathetic, and be good communicators as there is more to being a physician than diagnosing patients. Duluth’s goal to produce physicians who provide for rural Minnesota and American Indian communities aligns well with my mission to provide healthcare to medically underserved areas. The opportunity to participate in rural medicine preceptorships and the smaller class size allows for collaboration making Duluth…
