When asked why he decided to join the Life West team, he replied, “I’ve learned over the years that no matter where we are in our life, no matter what type of schedule we currently have, there is always a way to make a difference in somebody’s life.” He added, “I remember reading BJ Palmer’s quote that changed my outlook instantly: ‘You never know how far reaching something you may think, say or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.’ Simply put, it was my calling to help grow and develop a profession that will produce Doctors of Chiropractic that will make a positive difference for millions of people in the years to come.”
SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Are you curious about the scholarship opportunities available at Life West to help students offset their educational investment? We are pleased to share that Life West has multiple scholarships available for incoming students as well as current students to help students lower their overall cost of education. The Financial Aid Office regularly publishes a list of quarterly scholarships available to current students. Current students can visit our website at www.lifewest.edu/scholarships for more details and to submit their application. For new students, we have five scholarships available each quarter that typically range between $750 to a maximum of $15000. Please encourage individuals to visit our website at www.lifewest.edu for eligibility and additional details. Some scholarships are time sensitive, so it is important that students review the timelines and apply early so they don’t miss out. If any DC’s or future students have questions about available incoming scholarships for new students, please email Marc Martin at mmartin@lifewest. edu to arrange a brief call to discuss further.
