Once again, thank you very much for this opportunity and for all that you do for the chiropractic profession.
I’m very proud to be one of four chiropractic students worldwide to accept FICS student scholarship. Receiving this scholarship gives me confidence and motivation to continue to work towards my goal of clinical excellence in sports chiropractic while also representing a personal stepping-stone.

Thank you to Logan University for the generous sponsorship of this award. Additional thanks go to my family, friends and mentors for their continued support. Without the educational and professional opportunities you have provided me, this achievement would not have been possible!
