Four Arab American students were recently awarded scholarships from the Michigan-based Community Choice Credit Union Foundation. Nadeen Dakhlallah (top), Mohamed Ghandour (top), Zied Shammout (bottom), and Noor Shammout (bottom) have committed to stay in Michigan for their college education and to give back to their communities. All four scholars join a network of 101 Community Choice Scholars who are helping to end “brain drain” in Michigan, a state which has seen the largest loss of its college-educated population over the last decade.
All four of the students plan to pursue healthcare degrees, and foresee making a great impact in the community through their future careers. For more on these scholars, please visit the CCCU website. We at the Center for Arab American Philanthropy offer our congratulations and wish you all the best of luck!
