I had some surprising news this week, I've been named a Siebel Scholar. The scholarship is for a graduate student's last year of study and it focuses on students in Computer Science, Business, and now Bioengineering. My department was applying for the first time to the foundation, since they have only this year added Bioengineering to the foundation list. I had no idea what was going on, I was only asked for a resume a while ago (which I had made for another fellowship application...I'll tell that story later).
The most fantastic news of all is that my advisor, the department head, is responsible for choosing me as one of the five submissions for our department's scholars. In doing so, he had to make sure the candidates would be finished within 12months. That's right..my advisor just guaranteed I'll be done in a year! (Which was the plan..it's just a really really solid plan now).
