TABS Senior to Receive Toyota Awards Scholarship
"Sometimes, it is the wake of tragedy that fuels inspiration. For Amenah Ahmed, her life changed dramatically the day she left her war-torn homeland, where she lost her father and loved ones, to immigrate to the United States. Today, this Texas teen dreams of becoming a surgeon so that she can help people live better lives.
This June, Ahmed graduates from the Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences in Fort Worth with a 3.73 GPA, an acceptance letter from The University of Texas at Arlington, and a $5,000 scholarship from the Toyota/Asian and Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF)."
