“The Accelerated PhD Program Scholarship allowed me to fully commit and immerse myself in my doctoral program. Having the reduced financial burden and opportunity to focus exclusively on my studies enhanced my engagement in the coursework and application to my research and practice. I use the knowledge and skills I gained through the program daily in my research to support maternal-child health in the community.”
