Manal: a 2020 SAMPS Scholarship Recipient

I am a third year medical student at the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary.

I learned of SAMPS scholarship through a class-wide email that was sent out to my class by the Student Advising and Wellness Office. Immediately, I felt like this was an organization and scholarship that I should apply to because of the personal connection I have had with myeloma in my life.

Soon after learning that I had been successful in the competition, I virtually met with the SAMPS Board of Directors. They are a warm group of people who really wanted to see my classmate and I succeed, and instantly put as at ease.

This award has been an honour to receive and will be put to very good use in my medical education! Thank you SAMPS!
