Medical Students Receive Inaugural Morris Public Health Scholarships
Two Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine (NSU-COM) students were the inaugural recipients of two new annual public health scholarships, which were provided through the generosity of Marie Morris, the widow of Morton Morris, D.O., J.D., FAOAO, who served as executive dean for professional affairs at the NSU Health Professions Division prior to his death in May 2008.
Third-year student Lauren Westafer received the Judy Morris, M.D., Scholarship in Public Health, which is accompanied by a $500 cash award. To be eligible for the scholarship, nominees must be NSU-COM students or have already achieved their D.O. degree, showcase high academic achievement, be currently enrolled in the college’s Master of Public Health Program, and demonstrate financial need. The Judy Morris, M.D., Scholarship in Public Health is being funded through a $25,000 endowment.
Carisa Lippmann was awarded the Morton Morris, D.O., J.D., Scholarship in Public Health, which also is accompanied by a $500 cash allocation. Eligibility criteria are similar to the aforementioned scholarship. The Morton Morris, D.O., J.D., Scholarship in Public Health is being funded through a $36,484 endowment.
