Skillman, NJ, (October 06, 2008) - AMBI® Celebrates Five Outstanding Women Pursuing Careers in the Fields of Science and Medicine.
The AMBI® Skincare brand of Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. proudly announces the five winners of the second annual Scholarship in Science & Medicine, a scholarship program designed to recognize, reward and support African American and Hispanic women. This Scholarship was inspired by its first recipient, Karen Morris-Priester. As the first grandmother to graduate Yale Medical School, the 44-year old Pennsylvania native's story exemplified desire, drive and commitment to making a difference in her community as a physician. Her life has been one of personal sacrifice to reach this goal, and she was honored for her outstanding achievements by AMBI® on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Similar to Karen Morris-Priester, this year's winners set a positive example for African American and Hispanic women. The Scholarship winners each have a unique story that has motivated them to pursue a career in science and medicine. Chosen from more than 3,000 entries, the following women have been awarded $10,000 towards tuition for any science or medicine program:
"We're honored to support these extraordinary individuals and encourage more women to follow their dreams in the fields of science and medicine," says Denna Singleton, Product Director of AMBI® Skincare.
