Meet Joy Nakato, who is heading to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) in August 2022.

 

“With the support of EducationUSA, I got to learn about the Mastercard Scholarship at UC, Berkeley and applied to the Berkeley School of Public Health.  Upon admission, I was invited to apply for the scholarship and after a rigorous selection process, I was chosen to be among the Mastercard scholars cohort of 2022,” Joy says.

“To me, getting an American education means getting an opportunity to attend a world class academic institution while receiving mentorship from notable research professors to build the right capacity I need for a shared, successful future in an interconnected world," she adds.

I hope to leverage the incredible opportunities an American education comes with, to grow professionally and to broaden my perspective both intellectually and culturally. I am looking forward to building meaningful and life-long networks with both students and faculty while at UC Berkeley. Thank you #EducationUSA for providing an environment where students’ dreams come alive. Go Bears!”
