I knew being the first person in my family to leave India to pursue my education was a big deal, but I wanted to do something on my own, something big,\u201d said Simran.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When researching colleges in the United States, Simran had two requirements, there needed to be a great educational opportunity, and it needed to be an area low in crime. \u201cBeing a woman, on my own, I needed to feel safe. Massachusetts was an easy choice, as there are so many colleges and universities that provide a solid education. I initially started my studies at UMass Boston, but living in Framingham, I hadn\u2019t anticipated just how difficult the commute would be, which was something I hadn\u2019t expected while making decisions from India. So, I began looking for a closer option and found MassBay. Its convenient location, affordability, and strong transfer pathways to four-year universities made it the perfect fit. Transferring to MassBay turned out to be one of the best decisions I\u2019ve made,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While studying computer information systems, Simran was a very involved student on campus, becoming president of the Indian Club, secretary of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) chapter, and a member of the International Club. She worked on campus as an orientation leader, peer tutor, and an intern in the Career Services Department. In addition, she was inducted into the <em>Phi Theta<\/em> <em>Kappa<\/em> and <em>Alpha Beta Gamma<\/em> Honor Societies, earning a spot on the Dean\u2019s List and President\u2019s List every semester at MassBay and graduating with a 3.8 GPA. Simran was honored with the MassBay 2024 and 2025 Impact Awards and the 2025 McKenzie Student Leadership Award.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly didn\u2019t realize how much I had taken on until I was announced as the recipient of the McKenzie Award. I don\u2019t see myself as someone with superpowers. It\u2019s just that I\u2019ve been surrounded by incredible support. Because of the faculty, staff, and friends who believed in me, I\u2019ve been able to do what I love and grow into someone I\u2019m proud of becoming,\u201d Simran added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitially, my family and I were nervous about how I would manage everything on my own. But, from day one, MassBay felt like home. I was welcomed with warmth, supported when I needed it, and always felt like I belonged. My favorite thing about MassBay is the energy on campus. There is always something happening on campus, whether it\u2019s events, professional panels, or just free food for everyone to gather. It\u2019s a place where I could grow, connect, and truly enjoy the college experience beyond the classroom,\u201d said Simran.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During her time at MassBay, Simran changed her program of study and credits the guidance of faculty and staff who helped her find clarity when she felt lost in her career path. She explained that they offered constant encouragement and support that will have a lasting impact on her life. She acknowledges and is thankful for MassBay scholarships that allowed her to not work as many hours and focus on her classes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scholarships at MassBay changed my life. Because I\u2019m an international student, I pay out-of-state tuition, and I am incredibly grateful for the financial support while earning my degree. I couldn\u2019t have completed my degree without the generous donations and scholarships available to MassBay students,\u201d Simran added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Simran graduated from MassBay with her associate of science degree in computer information systems, and she will transfer to a four-year university to pursue her bachelor\u2019s degree in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPursuing my degree in cybersecurity is more than a personal goal, it\u2019s a tribute to my parents\u2019 sacrifices. They worked tirelessly to educate their daughters, and I carry their hopes with me. This American education journey is my way of honoring their hard work, making every sacrifice count, and making them proud. Their strength is my inspiration, and their pride will be my greatest achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After graduating from high school in India, Simran Prajapati decided she wanted to explore the world while earning her college degree. \u201cAs I watched all my high school friends leave for adventures in all different countries around the world, I wanted something exciting too.
