Throughout my academic journey as a student with a learning difference, I have faced numerous challenges, including financial constraints and navigating unfamiliar territories in my field of study. Despite these obstacles, my passion for learning has pushed me to persist and excel. I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a minor in AI & Cybersecurity, where I have been able to combine my love for technology with my desire to create a meaningful impact in the tech industry and my local non-profit community. However, the financial burden of tuition and academic expenses remains a significant hurdle.

This scholarship provides the support I need to focus entirely on my studies without the constant stress of financial instability. It allows me to pursue specialized courses, engage in research opportunities, and take part in academic conferences that are crucial to my growth in this field. Ultimately, this scholarship is not just an investment in my education, but also an investment in my future that allows me to continue my academic journey with the confidence that I have the support needed to reach my full potential.
