In receiving the 2016 Zainab Damji Memorial Scholarship Congratulations to INDS Student, Gabrielle Salib, for receiving the 2016 Zainab Damji Memorial Scholarship!

The 2016 Zainab Damji Memorial Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship for Junior- or Senior-level students who demonstrate a commitment to service, education, and leadership in interdisciplinary studies. The Majid family have been deeply involved with UMBC, and with INDS in particular, for a number of years. Asif and Tabassum are alumni of the program – who have since graduated from Georgetown Public Policy program and Baylor School of Medicine respectively and have returned to teach as adjuncts within the program. Dr. Fizza has also taught as an adjunct, and this event celebrates their mother’s life and values by helping INDS students.

INDS is so proud of Gaby and cannot wait to see her succeed in her future endeavors!
