About Sheikh Abdul

The IU School of Education is celebrating Sheikh Abdul who this year fully endowed their student scholarship account. This scholarship supports undergraduate and graduate students who have an interest in teaching in public schools in Indiana. Special consideration is given to underrepresented populations.

Abdul drew inspiration from hisparents, who were not in a position to attain higher education but supported the development of schools and provided scholarships to those less fortunate.
