I finally get to focus and put all my effort into my major and my future.

My 3rd grade class really activated my interest in astronomy, and my high school physics classes got me interested in the field [of astrophysics]. I have a love of being challenged and both do exactly that.
I am most passionate about stellar evolution and the foundations of our galaxy.
I plan on trying to enter NASA or the DoD. I’ve also been thinking about getting a Master’s in nuclear engineering and working for the military.
I’ve been a part of NSBP as the founding vice president, and getting others interested in the field is something that I find accomplishing.
Receiving this [scholarship] was important to me because of the financial load it lifted from me during my senior year
