Thadford Dickerson and Paula Schuman Scholar Award

Carrying on their late parents’ legacies by engaging in health care practice and research, Temel and Nadja are excited to support the next generation of public service professionals and health care workers who embody the same values of community, outreach, and service that their parents instilled in them.

Any first-generation, low-income undergraduate (2 or 4-year degree) or trade school student in North Carolina who is pursuing a career in public service (healthcare, public health, first-responding, safety, etc.) may apply for this scholarship.

To apply, you must choose 3 historical figures to form a task force to solve a modern-day issue. What is the issue, who are the 3 individuals, and why did you choose them?
