Step 3: Attend an Interview (if selected)

Prepare for the interview by researching Purdue University and reflecting on how the scholarship aligns with your goals.
Step 4: Await the Decision
Following the interviews, the selection committee carefully evaluates each applicant and makes final decisions.
