Shiva Shyam `26 Receives Presidential Scholarship from Miami Univeristy

We are thrilled and deeply proud to share that Shiva Shyam `26 (Mason) will attend Miami University this fall as a recipient of the highly selective Presidential Fellows Program. This extraordinary, full‑ride scholarship covers all costs, including tuition, room and board, and includes a $5,000 stipend to support summer research or internship opportunities.

Shiva’s compassion, leadership, and sense of purpose were recognized last spring when she received the Peter Levinson Award, honoring the junior who best embodies our school’s mission. After attending a selection weekend at Miami University in February, Shiva was inspired by the campus community and the opportunities it offers. She plans to pursue law school after college, with a focus on advocacy and service.

Reflecting on this milestone, Shiva shared: "I am very excited to attend Miami with the Presidential Scholarship. This scholarship means the opportunity to pursue law and advocacy with fewer barriers and greater purpose. For me, it is not just financial support: it is an investment in the work I hope to do serving others. I am thankful for this opportunity, and can't wait to join the campus in the fall."

We could not be more proud to celebrate Shiva and look forward to all the ways she will continue to lead with heart, integrity, and purpose.
