Roadtrip Nation: Doctoral Roadtrip Application Round 1

Earning a doctorate is an exciting journey, and like all journeys, it presents its own unique balance of trying hurdles and exciting opportunities to navigate.

That’s why this spring, we’re sending three people who are considering, are currently enrolled in, or have recently graduated from a doctoral program on an immersive three-week road trip that will connect them with individuals who illustrate the remarkable impact that earning a doctorate can make.

Fueled by Walden University, if selected, you’ll hit the road in a Roadtrip Nation green RV to talk to inspiring doctoral students and graduates across the country about the paths they took and the challenges they overcame along the way.

No matter what your passion is, or which field you’re interested in—from education to health to management—being part of this road trip will equip you with the ideas, insights, and inspiration needed as you continue on your own journey.
