The interest came first. Support helped make room for it to grow.

Saleh’s involvement in his high school robotics team helped shape his decision to study electrical and computer engineering and computer science at Cornell. He completed the Young Scholars Program and high school in 2017.

Space to learn.
Room to build.

At Cornell, Saleh worked on an autonomous underwater vehicle project. He graduated in 2021 with a double major in electrical and computer engineering and computer science.

In his October 2025 profile, the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria reported that Saleh graduated without debt. He credited an SFA scholarship, a Pell Grant, and Cornell financial aid. BNEF separately records a $10,000 scholarship award to Saleh. His achievement reflects his own work and support from several sources.

A career.
And a return.
