"Working with the Office of Merit Awards (OMA) has been a phenomenal experience; Their support helped me receive the honor of participating in the Summer Public Health Scholars Program at Columbia University this upcoming summer. The OMA provided me with not only invaluable mentors to help me with my application but also more optimism and hope about my academic and career goals that sometimes feel unattainable. I am so grateful for all of the advising and incredible staff. Thank you, OMA!”

"The Office of Merit Awards is such a great resource! I am so privileged and thankful to have faculty on campus that are passionate about helping students like myself apply for fellowships and scholarships that enhance our educational and professional experiences. Receiving guidance with my applications from advisors at the office has led me to great opportunities I would never thought I could be part of."
