Lloyd Noble Scholars in Agriculture: Testimonials

"My Noble Foundation internship gave me the opportunity to network with and learn from the leading professionals in my field.

The experience I gained during my internship gave me skills that jump started my career and made me stand out above the average student."

"Working here helped me realize that I really do want to pursue a graduate degree. I've been a part of a great research team that showed me how important it is to work as a team. When you work together and let everyone do the part that they know best, the product is quality research with efficient and effective results.

All of this was very valuable, but my favorite part of the summer was the important connections I made."

"Every single day I came to work I learned so many new things, and I gained invaluable advice and guidance for my future education, career and life goals. I can honestly say that I looked forward to going to work every day. I am going to go back with a newfound appreciation for the Noble Foundation, and I am going to spread the word to my fellow peers about the internship program here.

The internship programs here are truly one-in-a-million in terms of quality. I cannot say it enough how much I have learned this summer, and how much I appreciate this great opportunity.

I could not have asked for a better mentor. He helped and guided me so much, and no matter where I end up after this summer, I owe him some credit for all the advice he gave me. I cannot count how many times people offered me guidance and advice, and for that, I am definitely forever thankful."
