“ Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights. But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.

You would know in words that which you have always known in thought. You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams. ”

Saanjh Sikh Scholarship 2011 Announcement

Saanjh Sikh Scholarships Awarded to Five Students from California & Texas

Berkeley, CA, August 16, 2011 – The Saanjh Sikh Scholarship has announced its 2011 recipients and awarded scholarships to five high school seniors from California and Texas entering institutions of higher education.  The 2011 Scholars are Navjot Kaur (UCLA), Amandeep Singh (UC Davis), Mankushpreet Kaur (UC Davis), Ramnik Kaur (U of Texas), and Harjeet Kaur (U of Texas).

These students were selected for their dedication to seva and Sikhi, academic excellence, and potential for leadership as young Sikh American citizens.  In the words of Mankushpreet Kaur, a Fall 2011 freshman at University of California – Davis, “It is a great honor to be a recipient of the Saanjh Scholarship.  Saanjh Sevadars recognized my abilities and have inspired me to work hard in the upcoming years. I would like to thank Saanjh for awarding me the scholarship as it will help me reach my goals.”

The Saanjh Sikh retreat is held annually in the San Francisco Bay Area, and provides a space for college students and young professionals to discuss Sikhi and tackle contemporary Sikh issues.  At the 2009 retreat, a group of university students and recent alumni mobilized to create a scholarship project that would facilitate funds to underprivileged, high achieving students pursuing higher education in California.  In its first year, the Saanjh Scholarship team met and exceeded its applicant and fundraising goal and awarded scholarships to 4 students.  After realizing the clear and desperate need for educational funding support and scholarships for the Sikh community, the Scholarship Team expanded the project to Texas in its second and current year.  This year, 5 students from California and Texas were selected as Scholarship recipients. 

The Saanjh Sikh Scholarship committee thanks all our supporters and donors who helped make this initiative a success. A total of $13,000 of scholarship money has been awarded over the past 2 years. With the community’s continuous support, we hope to continue to provide scholarship and support to students pursuing higher education in the coming years. All donations are tax deductible.  Please go to www.saanjh.org for more details.

Guru fateh,

Saanjh Scholarship Sevadars
