"This scholarship symbolizes the unique challenges and rewards as an interdisciplinary student. It is often difficult to find the same financial support as my peers belonging to a single discipline. However, this scholarship is one of the few I have come across that is specific for students like me. A scholarship such as this encourages inclusion and the importance of interdisciplinary work to the evolving nature of academia and research."

"As a non-traditional student returning to school after a hiatus of 30 years, I realized what I wanted to learn did not fall into a specific discipline. I was excited to discover that UNT offers an interdisciplinary degree program that aligned with my current career and explored new avenues beyond the boundaries of the usual conventional single discipline."

The Interdisciplinary Studies program provided an opportunity for me to connect my current skills with fields of study I was passionate about. It allowed me to bring out my most authentic self and contribute to higher education in ways I would have never thought possible."

"I wanted to advance my career with Tractor Supply Company (TSC). I earned my M.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies in 2020 with a joint focus on Business Management and Higher Education. I’ve been promoted twice since beginning my master’s degree, and I now manage the TSC store in Roanoke, Texas. The information and knowledge I gained from my degree has been very useful in my professional career."
