About the CFECT General Scholarship Application
I plan to pursue a career in the healthcare field and I hope to be able to help underrepresented communities and empower them to learn more about their health. The financial assistance that this scholarship has provided will be of great help in paying my educational expenses and it will allow me to concentrate more of my time for studying.”
