Jungle Scholar Winners!
Owen – Scholarship Awardee – Fall 2022
Owen, a proud member of Albion College’s class of 2025, is a double major in biology and business with double minors in data analytics and economics. He enjoys running, reading, coding, and learning about genetics. His novel idea for voice-activated features on mobile phones aims to keep people safe.
Alfredo – Scholarship Awardee – Fall 2021
Alfredo is a serial entrepreneur, self-taught web developer, and YouTuber with a passion for addressing real-world problems with software. He is currently studying computer science at California State University, Long Beach.
We were intrigued by Alfredo’s pitch for a reselling platform for unwanted gift cards, which would meet existing demand with the convenience of centralized supply and mobile payment. We were also super impressed that he built his own smartphone flipping business. Alfredo clearly has a bright future in tech, and we’re happy to support it!
Adolfo – Scholarship Awardee – Fall 2020
Adolfo is pursuing a degree in computer science at the University of Texas at Tyler, and hopes to one day become a software engineer for NASA or Tesla. When he’s not studying, he loves to cook, run cross country, and explore music production.
Adolfo had the idea to develop an app called Mom and Dad, a database of helpful advice to improve health outcomes for people who struggle to bond with those close to them, including children who live in single-parent households. We think that’s a timely and innovative solution!
Kira – Scholarship Awardee – Fall 2019
Kira Corbett is a second-year student at Oregon State University studying Computer Science and Software Engineering. Kira has already shown great drive in her passion for start-ups and ecommerce.
When Kira was 11, she launched her first ecommerce business with her mom’s help. Now, Kira is exploring CAD modeling and private labeling opportunities. An avid runner, Kira is also hoping to combine her passions for exercise and computer science to design her own running shoes and develop innovative solutions for fellow runners. Keep rocking it, Kira!
