Farah Shaikh Gyan Jyoti Scholarship Recipient

We are extremely proud of Farah, recipient of KS Foundations’s Gyan Jyoti scholarship program.

Even though we committed to helping her for 2 years of LPN,, we hope and wish to continue our support for her tuition for 4 years of BSN if our supporters extend their generosity.

An update from her-

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. It has been a while since we last connected, so I wanted to share an update with you. As most of you know, I was pursuing my Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) program in Los Angeles. I am grateful to share some good news with you all. While I was in the program, I was selected for a scholarship to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Initially, I had planned to advance from LVN to (RN) and eventually to BSN, but it was quite expensive. However, by the grace of God, the school has given me the opportunity to transfer my credits and accepted me into the BSN program. I am very happy and excited about this new journey, and I wanted to share this news with all of you because you have all been a significant part of my journey since I came to the United States in 2017.

I sincerely thank each and every one of you for being part of my life. As I move forward, I will keep you all updated on my progress. If you have any questions, please feel free to text me or Pinky Di. I am excited to start the program on August 21, but I am also a bit nervous about adjusting to the weather and life in Erie, Pennsylvania. I am hopeful that I will get used to it soon!

Special thanks to Ratna Kapur and Pinky Arora and KS foundation for all your support.

With gratitude,

Farah Shaikh
