'Diversity is not free, and it cannot be left to luck.' Application expenses are a major challenge for students from low-income backgrounds, Neuro1989 writes in a new ScienceWorkingLife.
When I set up my first call with Gloria, a student from Kenya who was having trouble getting into a Ph.D. program in the United States, I assumed she might be struggling with English or not have a competitive CV. I heard of her difficulties through my professional network, and as an international graduate of a U.S. Ph.D. program myself I wanted to help. I could not have been more wrong about her problem.
I eventually hit on a drastic solution: I could sell one of my kidneys, which is legal in Iran. I placed an advertisement and found a buyer. I was relieved yet terrified of undergoing a serious operation that might leave me needing medical attention for years to come.Amazon Web Services The next day, I was astonished to see a large sum deposited into my bank account. Mostafa and his family had pooled all their savings and gifted me the money. The windfall covered all my expenses and even left me with an extra $173, which I carefully stretched until I received my first paycheck in the United States. It was a surreal and life-changing moment that I will always cherish and be grateful for.
