Global educational services provider Kaplan announces that Emily
Conn, a first-generation college student at the Georgia Institute
of Technology, has won its $20K Tuition Sweepstakes, which will
help her finance her future medical school education.
Emily, an aspiring surgeon, heard about the sweepstakes while
attending a local chapter meeting of the American Medical Student
Association, the oldest and largest independent association of
physicians-in-training in the United States. “I’ve always tried to
be conscious of every opportunity presented to me, especially as
the time to truly get everything together for the medical school
admissions process is getting closer and closer. Yet, I still could
have never imagined something this great happening to me,” Emily
said.
Emily said she received the alert just as she was about to
unwind after a long day of classes. “I had a super busy day because
I was moving out of my dorm. After sweating and stressing all day,
I got back to my parents’ house and went to take a nap and saw the
notification on my phone. I’m not sure why the email stood out
enough to break me from my bed, but I just felt like it was
something different. When I realized exactly what was going on, I
was in absolute disbelief!” But then reality hit, she said. “The
first people I told were my parents, who were understandably
skeptical. But once we realized it was for real, the tears of
excitement began rolling.”
“With this opportunity, it really feels like Kaplan has my back
and it just makes everything seem so much more obtainable. I just
cannot wait to get a head start on my future and I could not be
more grateful for Kaplan,” she added.
Over the past two decades, Kaplan has held numerous sweepstakes
and contests to help students further their educational and career
goals, awarding tens of thousands of dollars in the process, in
addition to free test prep courses for admissions exams like the
GRE®, GMAT®, LSAT®, and MCAT®. This particular sweepstakes was open
to all enrolled college students in the United States; Kaplan drew
one name at random, with the winner being notified shortly
thereafter.
