Meet the Next Wave of Scholars: Ndeye Sarr
Over the course of eight weeks we are introducing the next wave – a group of Scholars who embody the potential that can be realized when talent meets opportunity. In them, we see a brighter future for us all.
Meet Ndeye C. Sarr, a 2026 Cooke Transfer Scholar who attended Georgia State University Perimeter College last spring. She is now studying civil and biomedical engineering at Duke University with a focus on developing healthcare devices that will make healthcare more accessible for all.
Listen to Ndeye talk about what the Transfer Scholarship means to her beyond making college more affordable. And if you are a high-achieving community college student with aspirations to attend a four-year college, take Ndeye’s advice and “Apply! Don’t doubt yourself. Just go for it!” The Transfer Scholarship application closes on December 9, 2026.
