“As someone who has relied on external funding throughout my academic career, an ARCS Award makes it possible for me to pursue my doctorate. Graduate students often live below the poverty level, and
an ARCS Award helps supplement my income. This allows me to focus on my research, rather than having to work part- time to meet my basic needs.”
–Taylor Azizeh, OSU
“I am grateful for the funding that will support my doctoral studies. The cost of daycare is 90% of my graduate stipend. This award will ease that financial burden and allow me to focus more deeply on becoming a skilled scientist by reducing the financial hurdles of being both a graduate student and a parent of two young children.”
–Cade Jobe, OSU
