Metro senior Fatima Abdulkadir is receiving a $40,000 Future Engineers Scholarship from Amazon, which she plans to use at The Ohio State University. Amazon is awarding only 400 scholarships across the country to students pursuing computer science or engineering careers.
Fatima learned of the award at a surprise ceremony attended by her family, classmates, local media and representatives from state government, Battelle and Amazon. Brutus also joined the celebration to welcome Fatima as a future Buckeye.
