Former Valedictorian Offers $1,000-Scholarship to a Deserving Student

It could not be denied that the rising cost of education in the US and even across the world has greatly affected a lot of students. Sadly, many students have to quit school because their parents have no means to send them to school or the student just finds it too difficult to work while also going to school.

But with so many students who deserve to be in school, Dr. Summit Shah thought about helping one student, one step at a time.

Having graduated valedictorian from Bishop Watterson High School, Dr. Shah proceeded with his education at the Ohio State University where he graduated with Honors to earn his bachelor’s degree.

After graduation from college, he decided to pursue a medical degree so he can best help others. He earned his MD from the College of Medicine at Ohio State.

Knowing that education is still the best tool for success, Dr. Shah founded the Summit Shah Scholarship. Through the scholarship program, one deserving student gets to receive a scholarship grant amounting to $1,000.

But the money could not just be used for anything you fancy. As a scholarship grant, the money should only be used for pursuing higher education.

Eligibility

The winner of the scholarship grant needs to provide proof of enrolment in a college, university, trade school, or design school to be eligible for the prize money. But those who are currently in high school might still apply, provided that they will enter the above-mentioned schools by the time the scholarship is granted in July 2019.

Don’t worry because everyone is invited to apply for this special scholarship program, provided that you qualify based on the criteria above.

You can choose where you want to study and what majors or areas of study you might want to enroll in.
