Congratulations to Neha Gupta, rising senior at Pennsbury High School in Yardley, PA, for her selection as the recipient of the $5,000 community service scholarship sponsored by Zinch exclusively for NSHSS members.

Neha founded Empower Orphans, a nonprofit organization that has raised more than $375,000 to provide educational and other resources to disadvantaged children in India and the United States. She first began her efforts at the age of 9 after visiting her grandparents in India and seeing first-hand the desolate conditions of orphans in the area.

Neha has been recognized by Prudential and Best Buy as well for her volunteer efforts - you can learn more about her projects and foundation below:
