Hear From Our Scholarship Recipient

Varsity
Djihane Mahraz

"When I joined the varsity volleyball team just over a year and a half ago, I could never have imagined how much this journey would transform me. Back then, I was relatively new to the sport, full of uncertainty, and unsure of my abilities. But with the unwavering support of my coaches, teammates, and the incredible community here at UDST, I discovered not only a passion for volleyball but also the drive to push myself beyond my limits.

This scholarship represents more than financial support—it is a recognition of excellence. It reminds us that striving for greatness in both academics and athletics is possible when we put in the effort, embrace challenges, and never give up."
