Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) Tarek Al Kadri, Social Justice Leadership Scholarship
Name: Sarah Shalan, 2026 ISF Law Scholarship Recipient
Major: Public Interest Law with a concentration in Civil Rights and Criminal Defense Law
School: CUNY School of Law, New York, NY🎥 Here is a recorded message just for you: watch here!
“Being a part of ISF means being in community with people who are proudly Muslim in a world where we are often marginalized, misunderstood, or made to feel like side characters in our own struggle. It is both empowering and motivating to be surrounded by individuals who share a commitment to their faith, their communities, and their personal growth. ISF creates a space where we can support one another and develop stronger foundations to serve and uplift our communities both here and abroad.” – Sarah
