Ford II grads each earn $100,000 toward University of Detroit Mercy medical program

Four Henry Ford II graduates are among only 15 Michigan students to be offered scholarships in a medical program that will put them on the fast track for their master's degree.

Kaylee Kromrei, Rojin Teodoro, Vraj Tripathi and Tom Yantus earned $100,000 scholarships each for the direct admit program into the physician assistant program at University of Detroit Mercy.

The honors program allows students to finish a master's degree within five years of enrollment.

Three of the students - Kromrei, Teodoro and Yantus - have accepted the scholarship. Tripathi will attend an honors program at Michigan State University to pursue entry into the competitive School of Osteopathic Medicine.
