“I’m a mechanical engineering major, and I noticed there aren’t a lot of Latinas in engineering. Where I lived growing up, there weren’t a lot of opportunities, so ever since I’ve looked for any opportunities in robotics on my own,” said Priscilla Segovia, HACEMOS Scholarship Program recipient and incoming student at the University of Texas at Arlington. “My goal is to work as a Robotics Engineer for NASA and that’s why this scholarship means a lot to me.”
