Dr. Lexis Will '18, Chemistry

"I will forever be grateful for my time spent at USI as a BMD scholar. I felt so prepared to enter medical school thanks to the guidance and education from faculty, as well as the camaraderie and support from my fellow pre-medicine and BMD peers. The BMD scholarship helped streamline the process, and lifted the financial burden associated with the commitment required to become a physician."

Bi Yu You '13, Science Teaching

High School Teacher, "The size and pure relationship that professors build with the student is the pinnacle reason for success at USI. I would not have done as well as I have if it weren't for the professors who truly care about their students and ensuring they're on the right track!"

Sarah Koester '18, Biochemistry

PhD Candidate, "I’m forever grateful to the faculty at USI who always saw more potential in me than I ever saw in myself. Their enthusiasm truly helped foster my long-held love for science so much so that it guided me towards a different career path—one that I am truly passionate about pursuing."
