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
Iris is a junior at the Johns Hopkins University studying Biomedical engineering. As a first generation limited income student, she is passionate about expanding educational opportunities and access to other students, hence is the goal of her project. After graduation, Iris plans to attend graduate school to pursue her passion for science while also creating training and learning opportunities for young aspiring scientists of any background.
