Student Awards Ceremony Celebrates Success
Azad, Martinez Receive Dr.
Matthew Terry Scholarships
OMS-I Hasan Azad
and
OMS-II Zophia Martinez
were the recipients of
the Dr. Matthew A. Terry
Scholarship Endowment.
The academic accolade,
which is accompanied by
a $500 cash award, was
established in 1999 to
honor first- and second-
year medical students who
epitomize virtues such as scholastic excellence, service to
the school, empathy, and congeniality. The Dr. Matthew A.
Terry Scholarship Endowment, which was the brainchild
of the Department of Family Medicine, serves as a fitting
tribute to NSU-COM students who embody the true spirit
of an osteopathic practitioner.
