Memorial Scholarship

Pankaj Ramesh Jagasia was a student at the Miami Dade Community College from 1997 to 1999. Unfortunately, in July 1999, while attending MDC trying to pursue his Associates of Arts Degree in Business Administration, he lost his life in an auto accident at a very young age. He had a lot of ambitions and was planning to attend a Florida State University upon graduation, which would have been shortly after his untimely death. He was happy to be given the opportunity to be at one of the best colleges to start his higher education. I also was a MDC student, and we both attended the Business college here at the Kendall campus together in 1999, which was one of the best years of my life, going to college with my cooler older brother. We wanted to start the Pankaj Ramesh Chhaya Jagasia endowment fund in honor and memory of my family. Pankaj sadly never got to complete his higher education, due to his sudden death at a young age, so we hope his legacy continues on for years to come. We hope you contribute as well and donate whatever you like to this endowment to help countless young first generation immigrant students. Thank you! Yogesh Jagasia and Family!
