Meet Yousif Sadi. Yousif is a newer student to our school. His mom noticed the GEMS Genius Scholarship Award announcement in the newsletter and decided that Yousif was a good candidate. After completing his application for the two year up to 100% tuition scholarship, Yousif was selected to interview. Interviews were held on the same day as the Family First Carnival in late January). Yousif interviewed for the scholarship along with more than 2,200 students across the GEMS network of schools. He was one of 500 students chosen to receive a scholarship.
