SCHOLARSHIP

Congratulations to this year's 2022 Cranberry CUP $2,000 scholarship recipient, Veronica Primenova

     Veronica will be attending Carnegie Mellon University in the fall with an interest

in Computer Science and Cyber security.  She is fluent in Russian, Spanish, and 

Latin and hopes to communicate positive relations between nations while creating

new and safe technology.   Her interest in Cyber security began at age 12 when 

she created and launched her homemade Slime.  Veronica soon found that some-

one had hacked into her account and her online business was gone and thus her

passion in educating students and others about online safety.  In 2021, she 

volunteered for the Steel City Codes summer camp where she continued to 

encourage safe and ethical usage of the internet.  She is the co-founder of

Seneca Valley's Slavic Languages and Visibility club (SLAV) and has led the club's 

participants in Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh's annual

Olympiada of Spoken Russian.  In addition to her love of figure skating, Veronica

is in the National Honor Society and volunteers for many community organizations

and activities.  She is president of the SV Women Exploration in Engineering club

where she advocates for women in computing, a Sigma Xi Explorer finalist in

Chemistry Showcase where she designed a catalyst that can be used to clean

ambient air, taught piano and figure skating lessons to many students, as well

as, collected food for local food banks to name a few. 

     Veronica Pimenova certainly encompasses the characteristics of the 

Crannberry CUP Philanthropic Scholarship.
