- This scholarship seeks to ensure that the next generation of healthcare providers are stalwart guardians of the principles of free expression.
- Any undergraduate student pursuing the healthcare field may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re committed to defending free expression.

Because AI writing models may be effective tools for expression, their use is permitted. However, recipients will be selected for the quality and originality of their ideas, not strength of prose. Submissions should be no more than 500 words.”
