Grants For Graduate Students

   As a graduate student, I know what it is like to face economic barriers. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming sacrificing the amount of hours you can work in order to attend class and complete field experiences that are unpaid. For this reason, I have developed an interest in looking for funding opportunities. Economics directly impacts student's mental, physical and emotional health. Economics is what drives many students of color like myself to college to begin with.  I hope to one day be part of the solution to this problem. Below are a few resources with tips that may be useful to you or someone you know. Please pass along :)  https://www.gograd.org/financial-aid/grants/ https://studentloanhero.com/featured/grad-school-scholarships-grants-priceless-resources/  https://scholarships360.org/scholarships/top-scholarships-for-graduate-students/   https://studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/graduate-professional-funding-info.pdf https://mastersincounseling.org/guide/great-scholarship

Book Reccomendation: We Should All Be Feminists By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

  Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has a way with words that is both powerful, yet simple in the way she explains feminism. In the book titled We Should All Be Feminists ,  she reminds us that to be feminist is a responsibility of both men and women, a choice to be in favor of what is right or fair, rather than a choice of being opposed to anything masculine. So often, as she explains, to be feminist is described as hating men. Instead, to be feminist is to notice how systemic oppression can in fact favor men in a way that places emphasis on gender in an inequitable distribution of money, power, and the choice of roles we play in society.  After reading this book, I recommend it because it gives the reader a chance to think about what a happier world looks like when both men and women have access to what makes them happy. Not only are women put into boxes, but so are men. So there is this idea that feminism can bring people together for a common good.  For more of Chimamanda Ngozi  Adichie,  c
