Amir Shah Wins Medal and Scholarship!

Amir Shah, one of our AOIT (Academy of Information Technology) juniors, has been awarded the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Computing Medal and Scholarship. If Amir chooses to attend RIT, this guarantees him a scholarship of at least $3,000 per year in addition to merit scholarships.

We are delighted with this award, not only for Amir's sake, but also because it is our first official scholarship for the AOIT class of 2009.

Thanks to Pat Yongpradit who nominated him.
