Bio

As a sophomore in college, I am a diligent, dedicated, and ambitious first-generation student, passionate about helping others and my community through technological advancement in STEM and the arts. I’m a great candidate for any scholarship because I plan to study for a doctoral degree and strive to make a change by giving back to less fortunate communities. I will use my education to change the world and make a difference in my own special way.
