Congratulations to our 2026 Scholarship Award Winner, Amy Tran!
This fall, Amy is taking her incredible drive to the University of Pennsylvania, where she will study neuroscience on the pre-med track. Currently interning at Reading Hospital, Amy’s ultimate dream is to return home to Berks County to practice medicine as a physician—giving right back to the community that shaped her.
Amy, we are incredibly proud to support your bright future. Congratulations!
