Why should we consider you for the 2026 @MtScholarships ?

"Growing up in XXX, a city scarred by insurgency, I witnessed disease spread where medical diagnostics were insufficient and failing.

These harsh realities didn't break but built me.

I studied medical laboratory science so I could be part of this creative solution.

Despite the prevailing challenges around me and being a female in this part of the world, I defied all odds to emerge as the Best Graduating Student in MLS at the University of XXX, earned FGN merit scholarship, led student initiatives, and served displaced communities.

However, dreams need bridges!

The MT Scholarship would lift the financial barriers I face (in application fees, and English tests) and open the door to graduate study in the U.S. I don't just want this opportunity; I will multiply its impact.

With grit and vision, I will represent MT's mission and uplift those like me, who come from forgotten corners of the world."

Our job is to look for bright but indigent students who feel because they come from "forgotten corners of the world," there's no seat for them on the table.

Sounds like we found one.

Normalize pursuing the highest version of yourself in all domains of life. Run fast. Lift heavy. Eat right. Run up the business. Get your mind in order. Treat strangers like friends, and friends like family. Life is short. Pursue your potential. Inspire others.

Consider sharing a very tiny fraction of that money with us so we can scale the @MtScholarships

It will make a big difference for generations to come.

Thank you in advance @BillGates

Now a certified computer engineer from the great @lautechofficial.
It won’t be a bad Idea to join the @SpaceX team as a computer engineer.

@MuskUniverseUsa 2 sir.

@Shola_timi Hi Doc, a follow up response sir. I am not trying to publish my undergrad thesis. My grad school interest is on energy research which is different from my interest (ergonomics) while in school. So I’m looking at writing review papers to aid me in my grad school applications.

[Adewoye Samson Oluwatosin @Adewoye_Samson_]

@Shola_timi Hi Doc, a little deviation from the topic . I am pursuing grad school and I’m really interested in having my own publication(even though I know this isn’t a must have requirement) . My challenge is I don’t know how to even start this process of writing and publishing my own paper

THE PHD JOURNEY IS OVER

I have thought of the best way to begin this post and for the first time in a long time, the words would not flow. Strange for someone who makes so much noise like me.

If you have followed my posts across my socials, you would have been taken on a journey that began in 2019. I posted every major milestone of my PhD, I posted my wins, my failures. The idea was to keep myself accountable and to inspire those who followed my story.

Today is a good day. The PhD is officially over.

I had a sentimental attachment to my PhD especially because when I was 15, my mother died of HIV. At 20 my dad followed. Researching and working in the area of HIV and infectious disease was personal. Anyways, this is story for another day.

Today is about celebration and thanksgiving. While a PhD can be a long and lonely journey, I remained active across all spheres of family, research, volunteering, teaching and supporting many others to winning scholarships too. The mantra was "Until we all win, no one has won". It remained so to the very end.

I send out my heartfelt thanks to all those who supported me through this PhD especially my darling beautiful Squeezim (@anizobazi ) who was a major reason for me starting and finishing this PhD. Thanks baby. To my most prized PhD publications, Zoe and Zita, thank you.

I am fortunate to have been supervised by 3 incredible women; Assoc. Prof. @endinequity, Dr. @jodurham19 and Prof. @DrAmymullens. Thank you.

Thank you to all friends and family who came on this long jourmey with me. For all those who I always cautioned not to call me Dr, from today, you have express permission to refer to me as Dr AAP😀.

Next steps:

1. Continue in the role I began 4 months ago as one of the Qualitative researchers in the Donor Research team of @lifebloodau.
2. Await my graduation ceremony in the coming months.

3. Continue to work on my manuscripts for publication.

If you are a qualitative researcher or student working in the area of HIV and Disability, my thesis is a good place to start. I did a fantastic job with that 312 paged document. As my people will say "I finish work for there"😀.

It is indeed over
