I was reluctant at first to apply, as I was likely the least qualified for this scholarship, just meeting the academic threshold for consideration. However, I am confident I have the academic capability and attitude to uphold the university’s reputation and will make every effort to prove Cambridge Judge and my College right. Being awarded this scholarship tells me that who I am is valued and that I am going to the right place. Dr. Dekou established this scholarship to empower STEM professionals. I am honored to use this business education to improve patient care and advance health policy, benefiting society as a whole. I aspire to be the first of many in STEM to leverage the Cambridge MBA for societal progress through science.
