To the right is a quote from Lan that reads, "This scholarship lowers the cost of my nursing school. It will allow me to work fewer hours at my part-time job, spend more time studying and be able to focus on my academic achievements. It will also give me time to shadow and volunteer to explore my potential while assisting people's needs."
