IRT Cohort Finalizes Graduate School Plans

IRT Scholars have worked closely with their advisors reviewing admissions offers and fielding invitations for interview and campus visits in order to make the most informed matriculation decisions they can. Decisions have been made! We congratulate all of our current scholars for their work and energy throughout these past months. Congratulations and best wishes in your next step on your professional journey!

Being a part of the IRT program has been transformative not only for how prepared I am to pursue doctoral studies, but also fundamentally how I see myself.

Graduate Admission Highlights for the 2022 IRT Cohort

• Scholars reporting admittance to graduate school – 89%
• Scholars reporting acceptances to 4 or more programs – 30%
• Scholars reporting receiving partial-to-full funding – 50%
• Scholars reporting receiving full funding – 42%

First three graduate school decisions are acceptances so far! I am beyond grateful—a couple years ago I thought that these schools were not in my reach but IRT’s support made those thoughts change for me.
