Fremont Gurdwara Sahib Scholarship

California High School Sikh Seniors Recognized for Academic and Extracurricular Excellence

FREMONT, Calif., March 16, 2010 – A 4.0 Grade Point Average student graduating high school in just three years who is revered as a model student at his high school. A student determined to complete a PhD in Aerospace Engineering and work at NASA. A 2008 immigrant to the United States who spends his lunch breaks working in the school cafeteria to support his family’s rent and expenses and impresses teachers with “his determined nature to learn and desire to perform exceptionally well in the classroom”.

These are just three brief profiles of the 20 students selected to receive a $1000 academic scholarship from the Fremont Gurdwara Sahib. Nineteen additional students were chosen to receive a $200 academic scholarship. Scholarship recipients will be honored at a public ceremony at the Fremont Gurdwara Sahib in early April.

Fremont Gurdwara Sahib Scholarship was created to recognize and celebrate Sikh high school seniors who exhibit outstanding leadership, scholarship, character, and citizenship and particularly those students who have demonstrated current and future involvement in the Sikh community. The selection process was performed independently of the Fremont Gurdwara Sahib Management.

Should you have any further questions or concerns about the process or the criteria, please do not hesitate to e-mail the Fremont Gurdwara Scholarship Committee at fgscholarship@gmail.com.
