“Presenting at the Georgia Environmental Conference gave me the opportunity to receive input from professionals with different perspectives on my project. I returned to Tech with a wealth of ideas on how to improve my methods, re-evaluate my findings, and potential applications I had not considered. The scholarship helped relieve some of the financial burdens that graduate school provides allowing me to focus on my studies rather than my bank account and I am incredibly grateful.”
