GK Scholarships 2021: Alejandra Delgado

Golden Key is happy to introduce Alejandra Delgado, one of Golden Key’s 2021 Graduate Scholarship Award winners. Alejandra is pursuing a degree in medicine at the University of Florida.

“This award reflects the hard work I put into attending my dream school, the University of Florida, to pursue a degree in medicine as a Physician Assistant,” said Alejandra. “I would not be here without the support of my family, friends, and instructors that supported me along the way.”

Alejandra is honored to receive this award and be a part of the Golden Key family.

“I am incredibly honored to receive the Golden Key Graduate Scholarship award,” Alejandra explains. “I joined this organization because its values of academic excellence, service, and leadership align perfectly with what I strive to achieve in my academic career every day.”

Alejandra is a dedicated student, and her work has paid off, given the scholarships and work she can do.

“This year, I was also the recipient of a scholarship from Florida Credit Union and the National Health Service Corps (NHSC),” Alejandra shares. “As an NHSC scholar, I will be working in primary care in an underserved community within the United States upon graduation. It has always been my dream to provide medical care to a population that otherwise wouldn’t receive care, so being part of this program was a perfect opportunity.”

Alejandra is grateful for the experiences she has had in her educational career.

“I feel very privileged to grow as a person and as a provider-in-training every day in the classroom and at my school’s community free clinic,” Alejandra mentions. “The training I am receiving is helping me become the knowledgeable and caring provider I have always strived to become.”

Alejandra appreciates all the support she has received on her journey to who she is becoming.

“The support I received this year from all these organizations inspires me to continue to work hard to become the best provider for my future patients,” Alejandra says. “It helps me stay focused on my studies and relieves any financial stress. Thank you so much for your generosity, Golden Key!”

Thank you for being a part of the Golden Key family, Alejandra; we wish you the best of luck as a Physician’s Assistant!
