Meet the Next Wave of Scholars: Aya Elamrani-Zerifi
Over the course of eight weeks we are introducing the next wave – a group of Scholars who embody the potential that can be realized when talent meets opportunity. In them, we see a brighter future for us all.
Meet Aya, a new Cooke College Scholar from Maryland who is now attending MIT and studying aerospace engineering.
From flying planes to designing spacecraft for NASA, Aya has big dreams and as a Cooke Scholar, she’s in good company. Within the first few months of earning the Cooke College scholarship, Aya had the opportunity to meet and learn from Cooke Alum Katya Echazarreta, NASA engineer and Space for Humanity astronaut.
Listen as Aya talks about what the Cooke scholarship means to her and how it will help her pursue her goals.
