Imagine Dragons have awarded Hiniye Madelaine a $3,000 Imagine Dragons Origins Scholarship. This scholarship was founded to help refugee or immigrant students. Imagine Dragons said in a statement that they:
"were blown away by all the inspiring refugees and immigrants who applied for this scholarship, and it reminded us just how great the need for supporting these students is, It was an honor to celebrate and help our winners.”
Hiniye was thrilled to receive the scholarship and she says:
"This award came at the perfect time for me; I was trying to find the money to pay for a class I’ll be attending next semester, and receiving this grant was quite beneficial, trying to graduate with minimal loans, while working full-time can sometimes force hard choices and this funding made it easier to focus on my studies and build on my successful academic record. ”
