“Being a Stamp Scholar means more than great financial support that allows me to consider incorporating more new and exciting experiences, such as studying abroad, into my undergraduate journey. It also means a community to learn from and people to gain new experiences with. As an Agricultural and Biological Engineering student, I’m interested in pursuing synthetic biology to advance Plant Biotechnology. At a prestigious university like UIUC, there are so many resources, from research and internship opportunities to RSOs that build real world skills. The magnitude of resources available can be overwhelming, so I find the mentorship program that Stamp Scholars offers help nagivate all these opportunities.”
