IMG Announces First Scholarship Winner

In an effort to support international students striving for academic success in the United States, IMG (International Medical Group) has named its first Student Journey Scholarship recipient. Susana Yeboah, a freshman nursing major at East Tennessee State University, has been selected to receive a $5,000 scholarship.

A Journey to Nursing

Susana, originally hailing from Ghana, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to continue her education in the U.S. and attain her dream of a nursing career.

"This scholarship will make a meaningful difference in helping me continue my studies and stay focused on my goals," she said. Her words reflect not just her financial needs but also the emotional uplift that comes from receiving such recognition and support. Knowing that others believe in her potential reinforces her commitment to the path she has chosen.

Launched earlier this year, the Student Journey Scholarship encapsulates IMG’s commitment to aiding international students who wish to enhance their educational experiences abroad. To qualify, applicants needed to submit either a 500-word essay or a three-minute video detailing their personal journeys leading to their pursuit of higher education in the United States, and how this experience will assist them in achieving their aspirations.

Showcasing Global Talent

Justin Poehler, IMG's Chief Commercial Officer, remarked on the significance of the scholarship.

"With the launch of the Student Journey Scholarship, it’s inspiring to see the many ways international students are pursuing higher education in the U.S. and making a meaningful impact in the world around them."

IMG's initiative will award one student each Fall and Spring semester, solidifying its ongoing commitment to supporting the brighter future of aspiring international students. Each selected scholar will receive $5,000 towards their educational expenses. Applications for the upcoming Spring semester will open from January 1 through March 31, 2026.

Hope for the Future

For many international students, funding is a significant barrier to pursuing their educational goals. Scholarships like the Student Journey Scholarship serve as vital lifelines, giving promising young individuals the chance to focus on their studies rather than financial worries. It allows dreamers like Susana to take significant steps toward their ambitions.

As she reflects on her journey ahead, Yeboah recognizes the unique challenges she faces as a newcomer to the educational landscape in the U.S., yet she remains optimistic. She is dedicated not only to her studies but also to community service, intent on giving back as she ascends in her career. The scholarship represents not just financial aid but also a foundation of support that will encourage her to fulfill her vision of a life serving others.
