“The [Jameel-Toyota] Scholarship [at MIT] has definitely helped me come here, like if it were not for the financial support that Community Jameel has offered me I would not have been able to go to college such as MIT.  Thankfully MIT is a ‘need-blind’ school and which means that they did not consider my financial situation in my admission process.  And, they also like help me find like to find the scholarship program and be enrolled into it, so I can like pursue my dream here and, like, be able to afford college.

Honestly, I think one great way to maybe to say it, is that, it’s a way for me as a young person to be able able to do things that I would not have been able to do without the funding and the support.  And it’s also a way for me for them to empower me to become the person that can empower someone else later on.

I’d like to give it forward I guess.”
