HOUSTON – KPRC 2 and American Furniture Warehouse are surprising 20 deserving high school seniors with $2,500 scholarships in 2024. All students selected for scholarships have been nominated by their high schools.
Sania Syed, a graduating senior at George Bush High School in Richmond, is the nineteenth KPRC 2 Senior Scholarship winner from the Class of 2024. George Bush High School is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District.
Syed is ranked third out of 582 students academically. She is a member of the National Honor Society and Math Honor Society.
She is a rock star when it comes to volunteering with dozens of hours racked up serving Harris Health and at a community health clinic. Syed also volunteers at a mosque.
This fall, Syed plans to attend the University of Houston where she will study biology on a pre-med track. Syed hopes to become a doctor in the future, telling KPRC 2, “An issue I see is the lack of cultural awareness in health care...So, I want to be a well-rounded physician to create change.”
