Safia Mnongerwa – 2025 Y-Not Go On Scholarship Recipient

Safia has dreamed of going to college from a young age. As a first generation American, she knows that she has opportunities her parents only dreamed of, and her mother has been instrumental in urging her to aim high. She is a convener of people, working to ensure others feel included and supported whether as a founder of her school’s Muslim Girls Association or as a mentor to younger students in both her school’s AVID program and the Lunch Buddies program. We are delighted to support her next steps in achieving the American Dream.
Safia will be graduating from Capital High School and plans to attend Boise State University.
