“I am entering my senior year with a lot of responsibilities. I have a full course load, 3 leadership positions in clubs on campus, a part-time restaurant job, and am involved with non-profit environmental work. With rent, a car payment, gas, groceries, utilities, and insurance to pay for, the Abdul Karim and Jameela Sesi scholarship is putting me in a position where I do not go into continuous debt to also pay for tuition on my credit card.
– Xavier Yousif (Sesi Scholarship)
