Hebah Halibi, David Arian Scholarship Award Winner

"As a young child part of the educational system within the United States I was lucky enough to be taught core values in school through a systematic manner. These values evidently enabled me to seek a higher education and allowed me to explore different aspects within a society where racial injustice continues to occur, mental health is considered dismissible and generations of societal poverty continue to be passed down. I will be majoring in sociology with the shifted focus towards preliminary law this upcoming fall quarter at the University of California, Los Angeles. Majoring in such aspects is going to allow me to best understand the choices of individuals and communities put together. As fall quarter is right around the corner, I have chosen to join various clubs and extracurriculars that lean towards my niche. I have enrolled in Model UN as well as Mock Trials which are essentially a resource for students learning about different aspects through law and society's lens. With countless hours of determination and hard work, I have been able to plan a list of courses I should take to be able to graduate within the span of 3 years."

Daniel Torok, Adam Birkenbach Scholarship Award Winner

"This fall I will be attending UC Berkeley, studying bioengineering. As a first generation, low-income student, I had many doubts of the possibility of attending my dream university. However, the news of winning the 2022 Propeller Club of LA/Long Beach Scholarship gave me the hope that I could afford going to this school. Now, I am able to attend the number one public university for bioengineering, making my dreams even closer than they were before. Ultimately, I plan to pursue a concentration in cellular and tissue engineering and participate in the world class research happening at Berkeley. I am thankful for this scholarship and for the opportunity to continue my endeavors in higher education."

Isabella Del Gaudio, Scholarship Award Winner

"I am honored to be the recipient of the LA/Long Beach Propeller Club Scholarship. Your generous contribution has helped me to pursue my undergraduate degree in Legal Studies at the University of Southern California. I am currently enrolled in the USC Dornife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences with a focus on Pre-law and a Minor in Accounting. During high school, I maintained a 4.3 GPA and actively participated in Down For Dance, Long Beach Search and Rescue, and an internship with the Long Beach City Prosecutor. My current intentions are to use the valuable knowledge, skills, and expertise I gain during my time at the University of Southern California to continue to be a leader and change-maker in my community."

Rachel Perry, Scholarship Award Winner

"This fall, I will enroll at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia where I hope to major in Computer Science and/or Applied Mathematics. One of my goals is to design the next generation of wearable health and fitness devices that can provide real time notification of things like high blood pressure or blood clots. I am also an Athlete on Emory's Women's Soccer Team. Starting in September our team will compete for its seventh (UAA) University Athletic Association Championship. I am eager to contribute to that effort. This scholarship is one of the reasons I can attend Emory. This year my Older Brother and I will both be in college at the same time. That places a significant financial burden on my family. Scholarships like this one have made it possible to pursue my goals and I am very grateful to the Propeller Club of Los Angeles/Long Beach."

Odalys Zapata, Scholarship Award Winner

"With the support from the Propeller Club’s LA/LB scholarship, it guarantees that I can do what matters most to me, advocating for equitable policies in my community. Instead of focusing on financial burdens, I can fully immerse myself in my studies which will further translate to me giving back to my community as I continue my undergraduate degree. In the fall I will be studying public policy, with an emphasis on economic and social policy. With the Propellor Club's support, now I can plan on studying abroad to learn different policy work throughout the globe. I would like to thank the scholarship committee for believing in me as it inspires me to learn as much as I can to make a positive impact."
