About the Dr. Aryo Shishak Memorial Scholarships

 

The Dr. Aryo Shishak Memorial Scholarships are named in honor of Dr. Aryo Shishak, an early pioneer of the NAF, and a former president and board member of the organization. Dr. Shishak passed away on September 24, 2017, and in October 2017, the NAF announced the renaming of its scholarships in memory of Dr. Shishak’s decades-long service to the NAF and the Naga community in the US.
