Shawn Shahmir, 2024 Scholarship Recipient

“This scholarship has truly eased the financial stress of college and allowed me to confidently pursue my education. As a pre-dental student working toward becoming a dentist, being able to focus fully on my academics has made a significant difference, and I’m proud to say I’ve maintained a 4.0 GPA at University of Texas at Austin. Beyond the financial support, the community and faculty involved with SDNK have made me feel incredibly welcomed and supported. Knowing that there are people who believe in my goals and want to see me succeed motivates me to keep pushing forward.”

We thank you for your generous support!
