War has raged in Syria for nearly six years, taking the lives of over 450,000 people and uprooting millions from their homes. College students are among the refugees trying to find a safe place. After witnessing the war in her home country, University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) junior Nour Saeed was inspired to act. A proud dual-citizen originally from Amman, Jordan, she has helped Syrian refugees in higher education by petitioning for UW-Madison to offer ten scholarship opportunities to Syrian students.
