Phoebe Vi, Bradie James Scholarship Recipient

A native of Abbeville, Louisiana, scholarship recipient Phoebe Vi is a proud first-generation college student. After earning her bachelor’s degree at Louisiana State University, she went on to join the Physician Assistant (PA) Class of 2027 at LSU Health Shreveport. Raised in an underserved community by hardworking parents in labor-intensive jobs, Phoebe witnessed the effects of healthcare disparities from an early age. The loss of her father was an incredibly painful experience, but it also inspired her commitment to care for others with compassion and purpose.

For Phoebe, being selected as a Bradie James Scholarship recipient is more than an honor. In her words, “It is a tribute to the resilience, love, and sacrifice that have guided my journey thus far. I am deeply grateful for this support as I continue working to become the kind of provider who gives back to the communities that have shaped me.”
