“I am writing to say thank you for awarding me the State Farm Insurance Cyber/AI Scholarship. This scholarship is deeply appreciated and will help me in my educational journey. I am a student at Estrella Mountain Community College obtaining an AAS in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. I am studying AI & ML to complement my educational background spanning pre-law and technology. I aspire to become a technology lawyer contributing to the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding emerging technologies like AI, hopefully serving as an informed counsel on emerging tech-law issues. As a first-generation college student from a low-income background, this scholarship helps finance my educational goals. This scholarship helps me pursue a passion of mine. A notable accomplishment of mine is my acceptance as one of 25 students nationwide into Yale Law School’s Launchpad Scholars pre-law program. In this program, I am part of a cohort of aspiring legal professionals gaining peer-to-peer support, professional mentorship, LSAT preparation, and various additional resources to assist with the law school admissions process. Thank you so much for investing in my future. “
