Students Selected for Cabrini Health Foundation Scholarships

The Physician Assistant Studies program was a fortunate recipient of an additional grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, with a five-year total now at over $2.2 million. This initiative has supported talented students of diverse backgrounds who have committed to serving the underserved while also facing personal hardship. This year’s recipients (pictured from left to right) are Suraj Dhankikar, Hannington Semitala, Tressa Weddington, Rachel Nordblum, Marwah Abdulridha, and Nabeel Magsoosi. We are so moved by their journey to PA school and look forward to watching what they do to improve health care in the future.
