Marvellous Akinlotan, a graduate student with the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) School of Rural Public Health, was recently awarded the President’s Scholarship by the Office of the President of the TAMHSC. She will receive $2,500 in scholarship funding towards her education.

Akinlotan will obtain a Master in Public Health from the Department of Health Policy Management in May of 2014. She is a member of the student chapter of the Institute for Health Improvement, serving on the Learning and Improvement committee. Akinlotan hopes to pursue a residency in dental public health following her graduation from the TAMHSC-School of Rural Public Health.
