Rising sophomore majoring in computer science at Howard University aspires to open doors for underrepresented minorities through coding education
“It was such a joy for us to hear the enthusiasm in Lilianne’s voice as she shared her freshman year highlights and accomplishments,” said Cheryl O’Donoghue, CEO at Aspire2STEAM.org. “It’s clear she’s thriving in school and particularly grateful to those who’ve supported her along the way, including her scholarship sponsor, Jim Anthony.”
Liliann is Aspire2STEAM’s first LEGACY scholar, receiving a scholarship each year for up to five years. Her scholarship is sponsored by Jim Anthony, tech executive and cybersecurity leader, widely recognized for his special expertise in cloud, IaaS, security, hosting, colocation, and online services. After sponsoring Liliann’s freshman year scholarship, it was Jim’s idea to provide continued support for Liliann, which served as the impetus behind the creation of Aspire2STEAM’s LEGACY scholarship.
