The research papers of these students are reviewed, and recipients are selected for their potential to make significant contributions to medical and biomedical research by a committee of prominent physicians. Each winner receives a total of $8,000 over the course of four years to help defray the cost of study for M.D. and D.O. degrees, as well as doctoral degrees in Biomedical Sciences. This year, we are proposing that the scholarship be awarded to nine distinguished members of our campus community: Marianna Babadzhanov of Brooklyn College; Miar Elaskandrany of Brooklyn College and Macaulay Honors College; Tiffany Merlinsky of Hunter College and Macaulay Honors College; Swathi Mettela of City College and Macaulay Honors College; Jasmin Morales of City College; Yasmine Oprea of Hunter College; Netanel Sapir of Queens College; Branden Sosa of Hunter College; and Jenny Ganay Vasquez of Hunter College.
