ACT established the ACT Scholars program to nurture the academic talent of graduate and community college students at the University of Iowa and Kirkwood Community College, respectively. These two institutions share ACT's passion for helping all students achieve their college and career ambitions.
In celebration of Community College Month, ACT is spotlighting one of our scholars from Kirkwood Community College as he shares his journey ¾  from early inspiration to college success.

For ACT Scholar Mohanad Elaagip, a lifelong interest in electronics sparked a dream of building a career in technology. Now a student at Kirkwood Community College, he’s turning that passion into a purpose despite the unique challenges of being an international student. With the support of the ACT Scholar program, Mohanad is focused on his future and committed to making the most of his college experience.
