pass scholarship
Please explain in 750 words or less why you want to come to PASS Program *
As an immigrant of Nigeria in these United States I have and always strived to become something great- this is my motivation to acquire knowledge and equip myself to make a positive impact in my community and society at large. This is why I chose Medicine as a career path after completing my undergraduate degree. Having taking the NBME comprehensive exam twice this year 2014, I am convinced that I need more structure to my studying techniques for the USMLE step 1 program. I discussed my fear and concerns with fellow colleagues and advisors at my medical school and they recommended the PASS program. With extensive research and inquires, I was able to understand that the PASS program not only guarantees success in my pathway to passing and doing well on my board exam but also gives me a better understanding to putting all the concepts I have learned in my first 2 years of medical school and applying this concept to understanding the questions that are being asked. I am determined to put my best into this program and making use of all available resources in order to achieve a great score that would make me competent and confident to gain acceptance to a program of my choice and overall becoming a competent doctor. I really commend the PASS program for the opportunity they give to students through this scholarship and I believe I am a good choice for this scholarship because I am able help myself and my family in terms of cutting cost in my pursuit to excellence.
I consider myself a disadvantage student because 14 years ago, I immigrated to the United States with my family from Nigeria. It was a transition that was made to enable my parents to attain a better life for me and my siblings. However, these opportunities have not come easily. My siblings and I have struggled with balancing full time jobs with our education with hopes to assist our family in making ends meet. I am a living example
