During last week’s Nebraska Academy of Physician Assistants (NAPA) Annual CME Conference in Kearney, five UNMC PA students each received $1,000 scholarships. Awards were given to Ashley Miller, Megan Moser, Bridget Reilly, Morgan Walgren, and the coveted NAPA Scholar award went to Elizabeth Benissan-Messan. The NAPA Scholar receives a plaque in addition to the scholarship as the candidate demonstrating the highest level of excellence both professionally and academically.
