Testimonials
The following Testimonials' have been received from various students/researchers sponsored by the Jean Shanks Foundation.
From an MBPhD student
"Were it not for the support of the Jean Shanks Foundation, this work would not have been possible. On a personal note, had I not had the opportunity to carry out this research, I would not have discovered the value of interlinking medical and scientific careers. The help of the Jean Shanks Foundation has allowed me to continue both as a scientist and as a doctor. The value of my scientific training to my medical future will be immense, and vice-versa. It is very greatly appreciated."
From an Intercalated Student
"The generous financial contribution from the Jean Shanks Foundation has enabled me to partake in research that I would not otherwise be able to afford."
From an individual medical researcher
"I am extremely grateful for the support of the Jean Shanks Foundation in sponsoring my research project which has provided me with a strong foundation in the field of paediatric endocrinology and that I am now able to consolidate my previous experience with a higher degree in this field. (I am currently applying for a PhD).

From an Intercalated Student
"I would just like to take this opportunity once again to thank the Jean Shanks Foundation for their very kind sponsorship. The money enabled me to support myself through this intercalated degree and therefore allowed me to have the best experience over the last year. I have learnt so many valuable skills, which will enhance many aspects of my medical career."

From an Intercalated Student
"First of all can I thank you for this award and emphasis how pleased I am to receive it. I was not aware that such awards even existed so you can imagine my surprise at receiving it. The award will make a real difference to my year of study and for that I am truly grateful."
