New Cornell Tech scholarship honors LegalTech leader Michael Mills
Cornell Tech has launched the Michael Mills Memorial LegalTech Scholarship, honoring an influential figure in legal technology and marking a milestone for the campus's Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship program. Created by a network of more than 50 donors to celebrate Mills's legacy, the scholarship will support students pursuing careers at the intersection of law and technology through the Cornell Tech LL.M. program. This fall, the first award was awarded to Suby Valluri, an LL.M. student who will graduate from the program in 2026.
Valluri, who holds a Ph.D. in quantitative economics and an M.A. in law, is the co-founder and CEO of FinMont, a travel payments startup. His work combines law, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology. "Receiving the Michael Mills Memorial LegalTech Scholarship marks a profoundly meaningful step in my professional journey," Valluri said. "Beyond its financial value, the award reflects Michael Mills's legacy of mentorship, creativity, and his lifelong effort to reshape how law and technology intersect."
