Our founder, Dr. Summit Shah, is a long-time resident of Central Ohio. He graduated from Bishop Watterson High School as valedictorian, and attended the Ohio State University, where he earned both his undergraduate degree with Honors, and his M.D. from the College of Medicine at Ohio State.
Dr. Shah believes that everyone deserves the benefits of higher education. So to help give back to the city and his community, he founded the Dr. Summit Shah MD Scholarship in 2017. The goal of this foundation is to help students from every part of the economic spectrum reach their full academic potential.
This scholarship is awarded annually. Every year, one student applicant from the Central Ohio/Greater Columbus area is awarded a scholarship of $1,000, which is to be applied directly toward the costs of their higher learning education.
