Q: As an international student can you indicate what type of funding you received from ASU’s Graduate College?
Q: How has this Graduate College funding impacted your studies, research and experience here at ASU?
The funding has provided a financial safety net for my family as we adjust to rising rent costs, food, gas, childcare, and other consumables. Had I not received this fellowship, I would have faced the decision to withdraw from my full-time program, losing the ability to fully immerse myself in the skill-building opportunities and training experiences offered to full-time PhD students. Instead, I maximized as many opportunities as possible and made my graduate school experience richer.
Q: When are you expected to graduate?
May 2023
