Koval Scholarship validates Mohammed's challenging academic journey

As a middle school student in Accra Newtown, Ghana, Fatihi Mohammed put his education on hold. According to Mohammed, he dropped out because he didn't fully appreciate the long-term importance of education until he read Dr. Ben Carson's book Think Big, which inspired him to return to school. Returning to school was a challenge, but his perseverance and dedication paid off. Through renewed focus and efforts, the student has shown remarkable academic growth and is now working toward his MSLIS degree at the University of Illinois. Mohammed is receiving support for his studies through the Anna Mae Koval Scholarship Fund at the iSchool. The scholarship is a powerful reminder that honors the hard-won progress he has made.
