Student Spotlight
Malina Siharath ’25
“Being awarded three scholarships has made such a difference during my time at Clark College. In my first year of college, I paid all expenses out of pocket or with personal loans. Because of the Darby/Smith Scholarship, Fordham Scholarship, and the Clark Alumni Scholarship, I am able to finish my last year at Clark College with only that first year of debt. With the help of scholarships, I am able to transition into a 4-Year Institution seamlessly. When the community helps students through scholarships, they truly change students’ lives on their academic journeys!”
