Scholarship Recipients

Towhid Ahmed
M.S. Physician Assistant

“My parents moved from Bangladesh so that my brothers and I could obtain a better education. Recognizing their sacrifices, I have done my utmost to succeed academically. I obtained an undergraduate degree at Rutgers in Cell Biology & Neuroscience.”

“I am second year Physician Assistant student. Coming into the PA program, I quickly found ways to get involved by becoming a student representative in the Physician Assistant Curriculum Committee, which identifies gaps, redundancies and makes suggestions for improvement in clinical and didactic education. This year, I also had the unique opportunity to become a mentor to an incoming student, which allowed me to help the student transition into the rigorous nature of the program.”

“I want to express my sincere gratitude for selecting me as a SHP Endowed Student Scholarship recipient. I truly hope that one day I can be the best PA that I am capable of being and can represent the Rutgers PA program with pride. I am excited to see what the future holds, and I look forward to applying all the skills and knowledge that we are being taught to optimize the care and health of my future patients.”
