2017-18 BTC Calendar: Affan Sheikh

For Affan Sheikh, a senior in the College of Integrated Science and Engineering, scholarships have made a huge difference in his Madison Experience. The computer science major from Harrisonburg, who is also earning a 4011 Security Certificate, worked 30-40 hours a week while in school. “My scholarship really helped because it took the burden off by reducing my tuition.” Thanks to donors, this FGM/Novetta Computer Science scholar was able to spend more time on his studies and prepare for a career as a software engineer. After traveling abroad, he’ll join Accenture as a software developer. But he will always remember helpful professors, generous alumni and friends who helped him along the way.
