Along with the scholarship and internship, the NASA MUST scholar program also provides a set amount of money to the scholars to be used for tutoring if needed.
Miracle applied to the program at the end of last year because it would be a great opportunity and because of the encouragement of Dean Haritos, dean of the Engineering College and Dr. Julie Zhao, director of the IDEAs program, Increasing Diversity in Engineering Academics. She said, "Dr. Zhao supplied both encouragement and motivation to reach for things that I did not believe were attainable."
When she first applied to the program she didn't give it much thought because of the enormity of the program and the small chance that she would get in.
"If you see a national scholarship, don't be afraid to apply, because I thought, 'I'll never get that. That's a big scholarship,' so don't be afraid to apply. I guess just go for it," said Miracle.
In addition to becoming a NASA MUST scholar and gaining a NASA internship opportunity, Miracle is also a full-time student, tutors in the IDEAs lab and is also a mother of six.
