Endowed Scholarships in Action
My scholarship made my entire Colgate experience possible. I conducted physics and astronomy research with Professor Cosmin Ilie, I was a member of the Colgate Chamber Players, I traveled to numerous conferences, I was on the executive board for Phi Eta Sigma, and I took courses that prepared me for my future as an astrophysicist. I graduated debt-free and am beyond grateful to the scholarship donors for their financial support.

I would not have been able to attend Colgate if it were not for my scholarship. I am grateful for the connections and friendships that I made with my peers. I'm most proud of my academic accomplishments, which led to my current fellowship in Mongolia, teaching English at the Mongolian University of Life Science.
