This summer, Sezen will receive two months of intensive training with leading faculty at MSU in microeconomics, math, econometrics and research methods. She will have the opportunity to earn 12 college credits.

According to the AEA website, since 1974, the AEA Summer Training Program and Scholarship Program have increased diversity in the field of economics by preparing talented undergraduates for doctoral programs in economics and related disciplines. AEASP is a prestigious program that enables students to develop and solidify technical skills in preparation for the rigors of graduate studies. As many as 20 percent of doctorate degrees awarded to minorities in economics over the past 20 years are graduates of the program.
