He has an educational background in Public Health, completing a Bachelor of Health Science and Postgraduate Diploma and is extremely grateful to the Acorn Foundation for awarding him the financial grant.
“The $4,000 scholarship has significantly eased the financial pressures for my studies,” Aman explained. “It meant that I could take time off work over the last semester to focus on preparing for my end of fourth year OSCE without having to worry about finances. Next year I am placed at Auckland City Hospital and have to move back to Auckland over the summer – the scholarship will help with relocation and setting up for the year ahead.
