JENNY JIMENEZ ’26

Jenny grew up in the Capital Region after immigrating from the Dominican Republic as a child. Pursuing a college degree near her family was important to her, and RPI offered the opportunity to earn an excellent education while making the best financial decision for her future.

As an electronic arts major, Jenny explores the creative side of technology while building a valuable foundation in STEM. She knows this will serve her well after RPI, when Jenny hopes to attend law school and focus on cyber law and regulating AI. She further confirmed her passion for law this past summer as an intern at a local law firm.

Jenny admits that she doesn’t know where she’d be without her RPI scholarship. Trying to navigate the college application process as a first-generation college student and immigrant was challenging, but her Weissman Family Scholarship opened the door to an incredible opportunity to pursue her dreams close to home.
