Rabia Syed

Rabia Syed’s academic record shines. A native of Los Angeles, Rabia received her diploma from the California Academy of Mathematics and Science and is excited to begin her higher education at UC San Diego. Raiba is a first-year student majoring in public health and considering a double major in Spanish. She hopes to study-abroad for a semester and pursue a master’s degree. With two older sisters already in college, Raiba is extremely grateful that her Chancellor’s Associates Scholarship has lightened the economic load for her parents, granting her the “opportunity to pursue further education without having to worry about the financial costs.” Joining the Muslim Student Association has eased her transition and she notes that campus is already her “home away from home.” Much success, Rabia!
