Congratulations to our 23 SGSNY Scholarship Program recipients who graduated this spring! Our 2025 Scholars earned degrees across 17 diverse fields of study, spanning STEM, Business and Management, Health and Human Services, and the Arts and Humanities. Thanks to their hard work and perseverance, many of our Scholars have already secured jobs, while others are preparing to begin graduate studies this fall.
We are especially proud to share that Nushrat Jahan Bushra served as our Scholar Speaker at Casino Royale 2025, delivering powerful and inspiring remarks that reflected the strength, resilience, and ambition of this year’s graduating class.
