Bio

Hello, my name is Sonia Ndifon and I am a soon-to-be college graduate with a passion for medicine and a desire to make a positive impact in the world. As I prepare to begin medical school in the Fall, I am eager to continue pursuing my academic and career goals and to use my knowledge and skills to help others. Throughout my academic journey, I have worked hard to maintain top grades and actively participate in extracurricular activities. I am proud to have been recognized for my achievements through various awards and accolades, including a 2022 Mountaineer of Distinction at West Virginia University. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also been committed to community service and volunteer work. I have a deep desire to help those in need and have dedicated my time and energy to making a difference in the lives of others. Some of my volunteer experiences include working with the Appalachian Prison Book Project and serving at my local church. Looking towards the future, I am excited to begin medical school and pursue my dream of becoming a physician. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the world through my work in medicine and am eager to learn all that I can in order to achieve this goal. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to apply for this scholarship and for the recognition of my efforts thus far. With your support, I am confident that I can continue to make a difference and achieve my dreams. Thank you for your consideration.
