Thank you for your generosity in funding this scholarship and thinking about the education of students like me in the Environmental Science field. As a student who is pursuing both a double major (Environmental Science/Biology) and a double minor (Chemistry/French), I am incredibly thankful for this financial aid, and will continue to work hard to make the most of my education. In the future, I hope to conduct environmental research - particularly on climate change - and also get involved in politics/policymaking in order to combat climate change on both of th4ese fronts. Attending the MWCC conference allowed me to network with people who are as enthusiastic about this field as I am, and learn about the current environmental issues/research occurring in Missouri. Once again, I am incredbly thankful for this opportunity and glad that I was able to go! Thank you for the work you do and for inspriting students like me."

I am a graduate student enrolled with the department of geoscience at UMKC. I hold a Bachelors in Engineering degee from India and I plan to work with government agencies in the near future after my post graduation. I had a great time attending the MWCC annual scholarship conference as a part of the award. I gained useful insight into the environmental field and had the opportunity to meet new people across the entire state of Missouri. This has further enhanced my interest towards the field I have chosen. The scholarship has lightened my financial burden which allows me to focus more on the most important aspect of school, learning. I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you helped me. Thank you." Foram Dusal |
