Local students earn scholarships

UMass Memorial Health-Milford Regional Medical Center recently awarded scholarships totaling $4,500 to student volunteers planning to pursue careers in the health care field. Two students received scholarships from the Auxiliary of Milford Regional and five students received scholarships from the Perry Memorial Volunteer Scholarship program.

Shaurya Patni of Hopkinton was one of the recipients of $1,000 from the Auxiliary. Patni aspires to become a physician.

“My volunteer experience at Milford Regional taught me that being a physician means caring for the whole person, and it solidified my desire to lead with empathy in every aspect of care,” Patni said via a press release.

Hopkinton residents Parima Sharma and Piyusha Majgaunkar received $500 from the Perry Memorial Volunteer Scholarship program. Both are planning careers as physicians.
