Congratulations to Katia on receiving the Rotary Club of Austin Global Grant Scholarship! 🎉🌍
This prestigious scholarship will support Katia as she pursues her studies at the Brussels School of Governance in Belgium, where she will continue building toward a career focused on peace, security, and international cooperation.
“Receiving the Rotary Club of Austin Global Grant Scholarship has been one of the most meaningful honors of my academic journey,” Katia shared.
As an International Affairs student, Katia credits her experiences through the Honors Program, McNair Scholars, Model OAS, and the International Student Association for helping her grow as a researcher, advocate, and community-builder.
“You do not need to have everything figured out, but you should be able to explain what has shaped you, what you care about, and how you hope to serve others through your work.”
Katia selected the Brussels School of Governance for its strong focus on global security and strategy and its location in the heart of European and transatlantic policymaking.
“Personally, this award represents more than financial support. It represents trust, encouragement, and the belief that my story and goals have a place in global conversations.”
We are so proud of Katia and excited to see all she will accomplish in Brussels and beyond! ✨
