COI: Why did you apply for the Learning Technologies scholarship?
Jenna: I applied for the scholarship because I am a Learning Technologies student and am passionate about the use of technology in the classroom to improve teaching and learning. I am now in my final semester of the program and have a 4.0 GPA, have had five papers published, and have given over 20 professional presentations, so I felt I was a strong candidate for a merit-based scholarship.

Irhamni
After a year of being a Ph.D. student in Information science at the University of North Texas, I realize that there are so many exciting aspects of Information Science that I haven't explored yet. Becoming a Ph.D. student and exploring the nature of Information Science has been one of my dreams since I was in the bachelor’s program.
