Elizabeth Goldberg has received a Phi Kappa Phi national grant to complete her dissertation and online Ph.D. program.

Growing up in El Paso, Texas, Elizabeth Goldberg was one of those kids who used to play teacher all the time, even to the point that she would create lesson plans and test them out on her little sister. Her mother, a science teacher, was also a big inspiration.

Now, as an online doctoral candidate in Curriculum & Instruction, STEM Specialization, in Texas Tech University’s College of Education, Goldberg has earned one of only a dozen $10,000 dissertation fellowships granted across the country from the Phi Kappa Phi (PKP) honor society. Designed to support active society members in the dissertation writing stage of doctoral study, Goldberg plans to graduate this summer with that Ph.D.
