How to Help Your Talented Son Secure a PhD Scholarship in the USA

I am excited to share the journey of my son, who is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics at Arizona State University. Thanks to God, he has consistently excelled with top grades and receives an annual Dean’s award recognizing his outstanding academic achievements.

 Academic Achievements & Ambitions

• Only one semester left until graduation.

• A math prodigy who has won gold and silver medals in international math competitions.

• Plans to pursue a PhD in Mathematics after graduation — a path allowed in the US without a Master’s degree.

The Challenge

Despite his brilliance, he is unfamiliar with the PhD application process:

• How to apply for PhD scholarships at his university or other US universities?

• What documents are required?

• How to write an effective application?

• Guide us through the PhD application process.

• Assist in preparing documents and applications.

• Provide advice on obtaining strong recommendation letters from his professors.
