“I am 24 years old and study Agronomy at the Federal University of Lavras. My mother is a cleaner and my father is a painter; both have always worked hard to support my sister and me. This scholarship gives me peace of mind, allowing me to follow my dreams even if my savings run low. I want to make my family proud and show them that I am honoring the trust they have placed in me. Every experience in the internship with TOP teaches me something new, broadens my world view and strengthens my belief that I have chosen the right career.” — Isabela Santin de Barros, joined the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences - Ohio International Intern Program in February 2025.
