ASU’s Event On April 29, 2014, the Arab Student Union (ASU) at Moraine Valley Community College hosted the second annual Arab American Academic Excellence Scholarship event. This event celebrates a scholarship that the Arab Student Union established to help student of Arab descent. Now in its second year, the Arab American Academic Excellence Scholarship awarded three deserving students scholarships that will help fund their college
education at Moraine Valley. Seeing a need to support their fellow students, the Arab Student Union decided awarding scholarships to students who were not only in financial need, but also excelled academically was the best way to do so. The first year the scholarship was offered (2013-2014), there were 12 applicants and in the second year(2014-2015), the applications increased to 24. Although the club would love to award scholarships to all applicants, the process is competitive and the Arab Student Union was able to award two $1,000 scholarships for the upcoming school year as well as an additional $500 book scholarship. One of the scholarship

winners who attended the event, named Yazan personally thanked the Arab Student Union for their generosity. As a full-time student, Yazan works two jobs to support his family while maintaining a 4.0 GPA and is working towards his goal of being a neurosurgeon. To raise funds for the scholarship, the Arab Student Union solicited donations from alumni and community members and held fundraisers at the college such as a falafel sandwich sale. The event was held at the Moraine Valley Business and Conference Center and was attended by students, alumni, community members, and Moraine Valley administrators. The featured speaker for the event was Mohammed Abunada, Vice President of Healthcare Banking at Standard Bank and member of the Moraine Valley Foundation Alumni Advisory Board. Abunada spoke about his experience as a former student at Moraine Valley and shared motivational words, with special attention given to the students in the audience. The scholarship event not only celebrated the establishment of the scholarship, but also recognized Arab American alumni of Moraine Valley as well as community groups who partnered
with or supported the Arab Student Union this past year. Among the groups recognized during the event were the Arab American Business and Professional Association and Team Palestine for PCRF. The Arab American Business and Professional Association hosted a workshop in conjunction with the Arab Student Union earlier this year focusing on how students can market themselves for job preparation after graduation. Team Palestine showed their support to the Arab Student Union by making a collective team donation to the scholarship fund. The Arab Student Union volunteers for and co-sponsors the annual Team Palestine Run for Peace which is held on the Moraine Valley campus every September. The Arab Student Union plans to continue to raise funds for the scholarship and it is the hope of the club to help their fellow students for many years to come. For more information about the Arab Student Union or make a donation to the scholarship fund, please contact ASU advisor, Nina Shoman-Dajani at shoman-dajanim@morainevalley.edu or 708-974-5229.
