AMBI Skincare to award scholarships

SKILLMAN, N.J. AMBI Skincare, an ethnic skincare brand that is part of the Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products Co. portfolio, is accepting applications for its second annual AMBI Scholarship in Science & Medicine that supports minority women who are interested in pursuing careers in these respective fields.

According to AMBI, these women are non-traditional students who have taken a break from their academic careers but now desire to attend school while balancing a family, work and other personal goals. To provide financial assistance, AMBI Skincare has contributed a total of $50,000 to be awarded to five women; each will receive $10,000 toward tuition for continuing their education.

“AMBI is committed to researching and developing innovative technologies to create efficacious products for women,” said Denna Singleton, product director for AMBI Skincare. “With science being the key to the brand?s success, AMBI extends its support to minority women who aspire to advance careers in the sciences.”

The scholarship program was inspired by its first recipient, Karen Morris-Priester, who was honored for her outstanding academic accomplishments on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in May 2007. As the first grandmother to graduate from Yale Medical School, the 44-year-old Pennsylvania native?s story exemplified the desire, drive and commitment that embody the AMBI brand attributes, the company stated.
