Western University of Health Sciences College of Optometry student Emmanuel Nwagha received a 2023 Eye Care Access Scholarship from Zenni Optical. The scholarship program advances Zenni’s commitment to helping the world live better and see better by supporting the growth of the optometry profession in the U.S.
Students awarded the Zenni Eye Care Access Scholarship for the 2023-24 academic year are those currently enrolled in U.S. optometry schools. These individuals, with remarkable personal stories and diverse backgrounds from across the nation, are set to receive a $2,500 scholarship. Alongside the financial support, each awardee will have the opportunity to cultivate a network that plays a pivotal role in their professional development.
Zenni Optical’s commitment to help address the disparities in society is admirable and commendable, Nwagha said. Zenni is having a direct impact on future optometrists and their future patients, he said.
“(Receiving this scholarship) is very important to my journey as an optometry student. Being able to get a WesternU education and then going out into the world thereafter, I know part of what I achieve will be attributed somewhat as a direct result of this scholarship that has enabled me to achieve it,” Nwagha said. “Anything is possible. Now being recognized as a student ambassador for eye care access is something I consider to be very important and really remarkable because it could change my career and life trajectory.”
