NY Podiatrist Established Scholarship for NYCPM 4th Year Students

 

After attending the Alumni Relations Association meeting at the New York Podiatric Clinical Conference in January, E. Giannin Perez, DPM, Class of 2011, was inspired to create a scholarship for fourth-year students going on externships. “During the meeting, there was talk about how we could support our students and I thought of what could have helped me when I was a student,” she said.

“Immediately, I remembered financially how difficult it was to expense my externships abroad – flights, room and board, rental cars, etc. Therefore, I decided to create a $1,000 scholarship to facilitate a student on their travels while they are on externships.” The new Dr. E. Giannin Perez Scholarship Fund will give $1,000 annually to a student with a GPA of 3.0 or above who is going on externships out of state.
