Nikhil Desai Reflect and Learn COVID-19 Scholarship
The COVID-19 pandemic has been an extremely unique and life-altering period of time for everyone.
Whether you contracted the virus or not, the pandemic, quarantine, and other guidelines surrounding the entire ordeal have changed everyone’s lives and who they are today.
The pandemic has manifested itself in various ways for different people. Some have benefitted from the life lessons they’ve learned while others have struggled with the negative effects of isolation and uncertainty.
The Nikhil Desai Reflect and Learn COVID-19 Scholarship exists to encourage students to reflect on their COVID-19 experience. The scholarship will be awarded to one student in any field of study who best reflects the changes, both positive and negative, they’ve had to deal with through this unprecedented period of time.
Please reflect on how COVID-19 has affected your life. What have you learned about yourself and about the world during this time?
