Hi! My name is Morgan. Professionally, I am most passionate about engineering and finding solutions to complex problems. Personally, I am most passionate about the people I love and improving the world for them the best I can. With one NASA internship down and another approaching this summer, I hope to become an aerothermodynamist in NASA Langley's High Speed Flight Research department. I believe I am a good candidate for these scholarships because I have worked tirelessly for years to keep a solid GPA (4.67 weighted, 4.0 unweighted) and I have participated in various leadership activities, such as my 2 years as my local FBLA chapter's treasurer and 4 years of participation in student government. I also have highly valuable work experience going into college, which will allow me to develop a deeper understanding of my studies. I hope to win these scholarships so that I can have more freedom to choose a school without as much fear of financial burden.
