The Morrill Scholars Program is a scholarship program that has allowed me to attend Ohio State University with little to no cost. As an out of State student, tuition can be overbearing, but with MSP I currently go to Ohio State University without having to worry about cost of attendance. I was chosen for this scholarship due to my willingness to promote diversity and inclusion within campus.

PREFACE is a four week minority engineering program in which students receive a slice of the college experience before beginning their education at Ohio State University. This was a highly selective program as only 24 out of the many students who applied were chosen. This experience allowed me to meet extremely intelligent, like-minded people whit whom I still hold great relationships with. This program gave me a family of people who I can rely on and who also rely on me.

 

 

National Society of Black EngineersNational Society of Black Engineers is an organization that I joined during Autumn semester in my freshman year. It is also one that I am truly grateful for. It gives me an avenue in which to locate people of my field whose experiences and backgrounds I can relate to. My participation in this organization gives me a sense of unity among those with similar interests as myself.

About Me

 

Hello, My name is Tolulope Lawal. I was born in Nigeria so I have multiple names, 8 to to be exact. I don’t go by all the names on a regular basis; I’ve never gone by my official first name but I go by Tolu at any academic institution and the rest of the world calls me by one of my the unofficial names, Dami. I am one of 4 kids and was raised, since I was 4, in Saint Louis, Missouri. I participated in extracurricular activities such as Robotics, Key club, College bridge club, media club, french club, golf and track and field. I was a fairly good student but am well aware of my weaknesses and hope to overcome them this school year.  My interests include, but are not limited to golf, being engaged with global issues, and reading. I am also an aspiring Materials Engineer and would like to be a global innovator and work with developing nations.
