«Scholarships give our students the gift
of freedom: to make
career choices based on purpose and passion, rather than the price
of education; to use time to study, explore
science, and volunteer to help others, rather than working to make ends meet; and to succeed because someone who never met them saw enough potential to invest
in their
dreams,» said Catherine Lucey, MD, vice dean for education at UCSF's School
of Medicine.
Physicist Luis Delgado - Aparicio told middle school students attending a conference
of Hispanics Inspiring Students» Performance and Achievement (HISPA) at Princeton University to follow their
dreams and to pursue
careers in science even if the path is difficult.
