Dunya Atra is one of two high school seniors to be awarded the Bethlehem Area School District Superintendent's Scholarship to attend Moravian. She plans to major in biology with the goal of becoming a pediatrician.
This year’s winners of the annual BASD Superintendent’s Scholarship to attend Moravian University are two hardworking, humble teens who want to change the world through science.
Bethlehem Area School District seniors Dunya Atra, 17, and Shanice Painton, 18, were announced as the awardees Thursday.
Each will get a four-year, full-tuition scholarship to study biology at the private Bethlehem university, which was founded in 1742 and has its roots in the Moravian Church.
The BASD Superintendent’s Scholarship is in its 10th year. Every spring, one senior from each of BASD’s two high schools — Freedom and Liberty — is selected by the superintendent and representatives from Moravian to receive the award.
