Agnes Irwin Graduates a Gates Millennium Scholar The price tag of a college education could be enough to delay even the most ambitious students in determining their next step after high school graduation. But for Sadiyah Sabree ’12, the decision was made far less stressful after receiving a full scholarship to the college of her choice through the Gates Millennium Scholars Program. Sabree is one of 1,000 Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) chosen nationwide for the GMS Class of 2012. From a pool of more than 24,000 student applicants, she was selected for her strong leadership, community service and academic achievements. The scholarship covers undergraduate tuition and all fees, and is renewable through graduate school if she decides to pursue studies in computer science, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health or education. “We are filled with pride to learn of Sadiyah’s auspicious scholarship award,” said Head of School Mary F. Seppala. “She came to us in her eighth grade year from Masterman, Philadelphia’s most highly ranked public school and a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon school. She hit the ground
running academically, producing consistent high marks as well as becoming an active member of the community outside of school. We anticipate great things from Sadiyah.” She is the second AIS student in three years to win the prestigious scholarship. Alumna Maiki Paul ’10 was the first AIS student to be named a Gates Millennium Scholar. Focused on diversity issues and aiding the greater community, Sadiyah’s undertakings earned her an AIS Student Outreach Service Award in 2009. In summer 2011, she was one of 11 students chosen to organize and execute the Tavis Smiley Youth to Leaders Conference in California, running a week-long program to get 150 students involved in leadership and service. In previous summers, she has worked as a youth leader at The Franklin Institute and a volunteer counselor at the Heston Edwin Elementary School. While at AIS, she tested college waters by taking sociology classes at the University of Pennsylvania and business classes at University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, while also helping in her family’s real estate business. During her senior year, Sadiyah was the president of the Black Student Union and tri-head of the Pottery Club. She now attends Columbia University.
