Who Can Apply:
- Safak Paker-Leggs had a passion for mentorship and a mission of empowering and uplifting women in scientific fields.
- Women often don’t get the encouragement and help they need when pursuing higher education and entering the workforce, especially when breaking into scientific fields that are often male-dominated. Industries with few female employees can feel intimidating and unwelcoming to young women planning their careers.
- This scholarship aims to continue Safak’s legacy by supporting women who are pursuing degrees in science-based fields.
- Any female Ph.D. candidate pursuing pharmaceutical science or health science may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Students who are first-generation immigrants to the U.S. are preferred.
Submission: To apply, tell us about your experience in science, any barriers you’ve had to overcome, and how your background as an immigrant has affected your journey. You can share via written response or through video response.
