Student Success Story: Rasheika M. Swain

“As a graduate student in the dual MBA/MHA program, I am immensely grateful for the Fall 2025 Urban Fellows Program Scholarship. This scholarship marks a significant milestone in my journey toward educational and professional success.


The financial support allowed me to fully focus on my studies, deepening my understanding of business principles and healthcare management. It also enabled me to complete a transformative internship with the American College of Healthcare Executives of North Texas Foundation, a nonprofit organization, where I gained practical insights into sector challenges such as resource allocation and community outreach.

Overall, the Urban Fellows Program Scholarship has been crucial in shaping my academic and professional aspirations, empowering me to pursue a meaningful career in healthcare management.”
