The semester that I received the scholarship, I was able to fully focus on my academic and professional growth without having to worry about how I was going to pay for my tuition every month. I finished the semester with a 4.0 GPA and two A+ grades, I submitted a paper for my research as a first author to a journal, I secured a new research opportunity for the summer, and I received an award from the Astronomy Department for being an "Astronomy major of excellent academic standing." It is with no exaggeration when I say that it was my best semester in college so far, thus I am forever grateful to Two Sigma as I couldn't have done it without the help of the Two Sigma scholarship.

Both during and after my final internship presentation, several team members had many questions and follow-up ideas regarding my topic. I certainly had the idea in my head that intern projects aren't usually interesting for many people other than your manager, so I was very pleasantly surprised as we talked at length about the nuances and details of what I had done this summer, and we also discussed possible future steps, despite my internship ending very soon. I thought this interaction highlighted both the deep curiosity everyone has, as well as the impact that the intern projects are designed to have.

The program allowed me to be more confident in pursuing a career in computer science and my weekly talks with my mentor and hearing about her career journey eased a lot of concerns I had. For that, I’m eternally thankful.
