Senior, Mechatronics Engineering
Coming from a first-generation, low-income, single-parent home it was difficult to obtain funds for my education. Luckily, mentors helped me navigate the application process and helped me find scholarships and grants. I became a McNair Scholar to help me understand the graduate school process. I will be the first in my family to obtain a doctorate degree. Mentors and advisors helped me understand how to complete the FAFSA, write essays, and explore graduate school opportunities. To other first-generation students, I would recommend building connections to help learn about resources on campus and navigate college life.
