"Receiving my scholarship has allowed me to focus on my senior undergraduate school year in my studies in marine geology and ocean chemistry. This scholarship motivated me to take leadership positions during the unique undergraduate research cruise and has inspired me to continue my research after graduation. Such recognition and honor in the form of a scholarship is a great motivator, and has given me the confidence and experience to continue on with my academic research in graduate school."
Jennifer Glass
