GSEN M.S. student and MANTIS Research Assistant José Pilartes-Congo is certainly having a good beginning of the year: he has just been awarded a 431 Exchange Scholarship.
431 Exchange is a nonprofit organization with a mission of helping people from different races, gender, or socio-economic backgrounds to succeed in their academic life. The purpose of this scholarship is to assist not only in the students’ academic performance but also in their social and extra-academic activities.
