"I am honored to receive a scholarship in honor of Carolyn that focuses on empowering and supporting women who are pursuing leadership opportunities in the life sciences industry. I am passionate about educating and engaging patients to drive better health care outcomes: I work at a nonprofit organization called CISCRP, and I am pursuing a graduate degree in health management at Harvard University. Financial support and mentorship from the Carolyn E. Green scholarship will contribute to my tuition and help me achieve my long-term goals of developing innovative ways to increase health literacy and normalize the conversation around clinical research among diverse communities."

"I applied for the Carolyn Green Scholarship because I am currently working on my doctorate in healthcare administration, and this scholarship would afford me the opportunity to lighten some of the financial pressures associated with higher learning. I was excited to apply for a scholarship that had great alignment to my field in life sciences and my role as a female leader. In addition, I felt it would be a delight to carry forth the memory of Carolyn, which entails great ambition, and motivation/innovation toward breakthrough discoveries in treatments."

"I was able to apply the funding to my tuition, which will help support me in my research goals of identifying the relationship between healthcare provider point-of-care interventions (such as health literacy optimizations) and colorectal cancer screening rate improvements."

"This scholarship means so much to me, from a financial relief standpoint, and also from a standpoint of representing Carolyn, and honoring her through the impactful work that I am doing and plan to do. Women in leadership positions is still a key area of opportunity for growth, and as a scholarship awardee, I now have Carolyn and the scholarship committee as my inspiration to continue to strive toward further success as a woman in healthcare leadership."
