College Dreams Do Come True! (Almost a Full Ride to F&M College '28!!) 💙💙

 

Let's just say I might have shed a few happy tears (okay, maybe more than a few) when I saw my acceptance letter from Franklin & Marshall College!

But the real cherry on top? The mind-blowing scholarship package I received – almost a full ride! This literally opens doors I never thought possible, and it feels amazing to see all that hard work writing essays and navigating the crazy college app process pay off.

Speaking of hard work, I'm also unbelievably honored to be awarded the Future Diplomat Scholarship from F&M! This recognizes my leadership role at Aruddho Ekattor , my non-profit youth organization. Being chosen from such a competitive pool of amazing student leaders is seriously humbling. The Diplomat Leadership Program focuses on building principled, collaborative, and socially responsible leaders – which totally aligns with my values.

Massive thanks to my incredible support system – mentors, fam, friends – you guys rock! Specially, Dipro Prattoy , Amirul Islam  Sababa apu, Farhan vai and DPT er shobaike. Here's to a brand new chapter at Franklin & Marshall College!
