“I am applying for this scholarship because I am a hardworking medical student from Sierra Leone who is committed to completing my education despite many challenges. I recently lost my mother, and continuing my studies has become even more difficult financially and emotionally. However, I remain determined to succeed and to use my education to support my family and contribute positively to my community. This scholarship would greatly help me stay focused on my goals.
