Ashok is a history and biology graduate from Boston College and he intends to study global health at the University of Glasgow beginning in August of 2013.

“I am pleased to win the Marshall Scholarship, which will provide me with an opportunity to better understand health disparities that exist between the United States and the UK,” said Ashok. “The Marshall Committee and my fellow Marshall Scholars are inspiring; I know I can learn so much from them, particularly by studying in Glasgow, which is infamous for health disparities that are replicated only in the United States’’, reports Boston College Website.

Ashok served as the co-president of the AIDS Awareness Committee and also as an intern at the Office of National AIDS Policy at the White House. During his college years, he has also worked as a columnist for The Heights, an independent student newspaper and as a science editor for the student research journal Elements.
