Jafnah Suha: 2025 Gulf Beach Masonic Lodge Scholarship Recipient
Gulf Beach Masonic Lodge is proud to recognize Jafnah Suha, an outstanding senior at Boca Ciega High School, as this year’s recipient of our annual scholarship. As the Valedictorian of the Class of 2025 and a first-generation American student, Jafnah exemplifies the Lodge’s values of academic excellence, leadership, and service to others.
Jafnah’s academic record speaks volumes—ranked in the Top 10 of her class, she is a recipient of the AP Scholar with Distinction Award and a two-time winner of Medical Student of the Year. Her certifications in CPR and First Aid, along with her recognition in the National First-Generation Recognition Program, further reflect her commitment to personal and academic growth.
Beyond the classroom, Jafnah has been deeply involved in both her school and her community. She has demonstrated leadership as President of Mu Alpha Theta, tutoring peers in calculus, chemistry, and algebra, and as President of Women in Science, where she helped connect young women in STEM with scientific exploration and mentorship. Her participation in HOSA, MESA, and the National Honor Society underscores her dedication to collaboration, research, and service.
Her community service record is equally impressive. At Northside Hospital, she supported emergency room nurses and assisted discharged patients. Through Empath Health, she created art pieces—cards, wreaths, blankets, and more—to bring comfort to hospice patients. As a summer intern at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, she shadowed physicians in the Cancer and Blood Disorders Institute, observed chemotherapy treatments, and earned the Internship Appreciation Award for her contributions.
An accomplished artist as well, Jafnah has pursued painting and 3D art since 2017, earning honors including the Scholastic Art Competition Honorable Mention and the Dali Museum Showcase Award.
Jafnah’s passion for learning, compassion for others, and leadership in both academic and service-based activities make her a truly deserving recipient of this scholarship. As she prepares to continue her education and pursue a career in healthcare, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for success in all her collegiate endeavors. The future is undoubtedly brighter with Jafnah Suha shaping it.
