“This scholarship was created in memory of my dearly departed dad, S.B. Maharaj – an angel on earth. Dad, you taught me to be humble, kind, caring, and to engage in reciprocity. You taught me how to cook, and to always share, you taught me that the most important things in life are the simplest – treat everyone with the same love and respect I would like to be treated with. You taught me that education is key in ameliorating someone’s life, and it is never how much I have, but how little I can give.” – Tarran Maharaj
