UNITED NATIONS ACADEMIC IMPACT AND MCN PROUDLY PRESENT FERNANDA COSTILLA CORREA, A MILLENNIUM FELLOW FOR THE CLASS OF 2025.
Johns Hopkins University | Maryland, United States | Advancing SDG 4 & UNAI 3
" Deep down I felt like I was an innate leader, but felt unguided on how to pursue the desire to truly have an impact and create change. I am excited to see my potential as a leader flourish. I am happy to be surrounded by young leaders who will inspire me to push for change and grow as a person. I know the leadership skills I will gain from the Millennium Fellowship will be invaluable but not as invaluable as the newly uncovered potential and confidence as a national and global leader. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Postsecondary Achievement Resources for Students Everywhere (PARSE)
PARSE is a web platform with curricula that guide students through the processes of applying to college & medical school (PARSE College, PARSE MD) and completing science-fair-style projects (PARSE Research), all while emphasizing collaboration over competition. It was created to address the disparities present in our educational system, which often prevent under-resourced students from pursuing their dreams. Throughout this Fellowship, we have been able to expand to nearly 5000 users and offer supports tailored to a global audience.
About the Millennium Fellow
Fernanda Costilla Correa is a caring, driven, and compassionate pre-medicine student studying Neuroscience, Spanish, and French at Johns Hopkins University. She was born in Zacatecas, Mexico but moved to Wyoming when she was five years old. Growing up as a First Generation college student, Fernanda learned to take learning into her own hands from a young age. Growing up in a rural town, Fernanda found it difficult to find adequate resources when it came to navigating the college process. Her experience as a first generation college student inspired her to guide others to follow their post secondary education dreams.
