Abigail Cerny
Fairfield, CT
Clemson University
This is Abigail’s second Susan Fund scholarship. She is attending Clemson with a goal of earning a degree in biochemistry and hopes to continue to graduate school. While still exploring her career path, she is drawn to medical research and pharmaceuticals with the goal of advancing modern medicine. Abigail has volunteered with the Appalachia Service Project for four years, traveling to West Virginia to help build homes for families in need. She also tutors math, participates in Pi Beta Phi sorority, and is active in the American Medical Women’s Association. Her letter of recommendation describes her as “polite, friendly, and exceptionally responsible” and praised her ability to balance academics, volunteer work, and recovery from cancer with “maturity and a strong work ethic.”
