What do past recipients have to say about the fellowship?

Former recipient Davis Goulet enjoyed the flexibility of the fellowship and reported that the fellowship enhanced his UNBC experience and prepared him for future careers in the tech industry.

“This fellowship has allowed me to apply my research skills to real applications rather than just theoretical and academic purposes.” – Davis Goulet

After his fellowship, Goulet incorporated what he had learned into his master’s program at UNBC. Baljeet of TeejLabs was even one of his committee members.

Former fellowship recipient Jacob Johnson emphasized that the fellowship helped him gain a better understanding of working in a professional environment and gave him insight into software development and API management.

“Through this fellowship, I have gained an in depth understanding of APIs and their importance to the future of digital services.” – Jacob Johnson
