Prompt: Tell us what you are passionate about learning and outline how you will spend the $1,000 helping you learn. Your learning plan can include formal education, informal education, travel, internships, books, events... whatever you believe is the best plan for the money. Be specific and may the best plan win.
I have spent the last six months establishing a MEDLIFE chapter (nonprofit that provides medical aid to South American slums) on my campus with the support of 110 motivated and passionate students who also want quality healthcare to become a basic human right. This scholarship would be used to kick-start our chapter to travel on its first "Mobile Clinic" to Ecuador this winter working alongside local doctors providing healthcare. Among other topics, we would learn about basic and advanced medical techniques, hygiene and infrastructure problems, Latin American culture and Spanish language, and communication through interacting with the community, volunteers, doctors, and chapters. I hope to pursue international healthcare policy, and gaining perspective on health disparity through this trip would be my way of most meaningfully honoring this scholarship. The money would be used in part to help fund my trip but also as an initial fund for our chapter to carry out trip fundraisers and request donations. With 110 members, this initial $1,000 would be immensely valuable as the first and most important step in grounding our new chapter.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this and provide your comments.
