Facing the future with less burden Scholarships made a huge difference in Affan Sheikh’s (’17) Madison Experience. The computer science major from Harrisonburg worked 30-40 hours a week while in school. “My scholarship really helped because it took the burden off by reducing my tuition.” Thanks to donors, this FGM Computer Science Scholar was able to spend more time on his studies and prepare for a career as a software engineer. Sheikh is now a software developer for Accenture in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
