Public Health Student Awarded Gallagher Koster Health Careers Scholarship

John Park, an undergraduate in the Public Health Sciences program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has been awarded a 2011 Gallagher Koster Health Careers Scholarship in the amount of $5,000. Mr. Park was one of five recipients chosen for this national scholarship, which is awarded annually by Gallagher Koster, a provider of student health insurance.

The Gallagher Koster Health Careers Scholarship Program was established to provide outstanding, financially-needy undergraduate students with the financial assistance they need to pursue their health-related career. Recipients are selected by the Scholarship Program Board of Directors based on their demonstration of the program standards, which include a strong motivation to pursue a healthcare career, academic excellence, a dedication to community service, and a need for financial support of their education.

This fall, Mr. Park will enter his senior year at UMass Amherst.
