  • Stella Choi ’26 from Yale College is among the first cohort of Lafayette Fellows, a new scholarship established by the French Embassy in the U.S. to promote academic and cultural exchange between France and the U.S.
  • Choi will pursue a master’s degree in AI and society at the Paris School of AI at Université Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL) as part of her fellowship.
  • During her undergraduate studies, Choi focused on cognitive science and education, particularly the impact of artificial intelligence on learning, which was reflected in her self-published book, “Should Leif Trust Birdie the AI?: An Educational Introduction to Digital Literacy.”
  • The Lafayette Fellowship is a part of a broader educational initiative that partners with 15 leading French institutions and aims to develop young leaders interested in transatlantic relations.
  • The fellowship includes a year-long French-American Leadership Program, providing an in-depth experience of European innovation, culture, and policy.
