My story

I have always loved math and physics, and I was especially interested in outer space as a kid. That interest stuck, and I decided to combime everything and major in physics, with a concentration in astrophysics. I’m very interested in cosmology! There is so much to uncover about the creation of our universe. It’s a vast mystery waiting to be explored, and I am intrigued! I hope to go further and get a PhD, then go into academia. After this semester, I will be working with a professor to start research for my capstone thesis. This professor does research related to star formation and cosmology.

Continuing my education would be difficult without this scholarship. I had been considering applying to different universities as a transfer student, hoping to receive a full scholarship. Focusing on that while trying to get through the semester was very hard, particularly as an international student. This award has saved me a lot of trouble and has given me some assurance of the stability of my studies.
