"I want to become a Physician Assistant to give back to the underserved communities that shaped who I am today," Michelle said. "I hope to advocate not only for the profession, but for patients who simply want to be heard, understood and helped. Receiving the Humana scholarship has supported my journey and brought me one step closer to serving these communities, and I am incredibly grateful."

Thank you, Humana! 🙏
