How did this scholarship or grant help you?

“This grant enabled me to present my work to scholars in my intellectual community, build new professional connections, and receive valuable feedback that has directly strengthened the project. The conference also provided a productive deadline that helped move the research forward in a timely manner. As a result, I was able to refine the analysis and theoretical framing based on peer input, and the paper is currently being developed into a journal article.”
