I believe [the program's impact] helped me land my internship at Pratt&Whitney. (Jose Escobosa, 2021 Idaho Space Grant Consortium Summer University Research Internship-Boise State University)
[The ISGC Internship] provided me a chance to learn more about other interest in my life and open up my mind to other things! Made me become passionate about research, helped me build relationships that I am so grateful for, and showed me that I have other passions and career opportunities beyond what I was always set on. (Kayla Shubert, 2021 Idaho Space Grant Consortium Summer University Research Internship-University of Idaho)
ISGC Scholarship
I have always known I would go into the STEM field and have taken great interest in the science courses I have gone through. This scholarship would be of great help once I attend college. Being rewarded with this grant in STEM will show that I have great potential in being successful in the field and will allow me to take as many science related courses as needed without the worry of cost to hold me back. My goal after college is to have a successful career as a biologist, specifically biochemistry, and move up in the field to help solve real world problems.
