FinalistBio
My name is Max Freed and I am currently a high school senior looking for financial assistance for college. I have many interests which sets me apart from the rest of my peers. I have a natural leadership quality which I demonstrated by fulfilling my duties of being the Golf Team captain, Tennis Team Captain, Class Vice President, Astronomy Club Vice President, Social Studies Honor Society Vice President, Social Studies Honor Society Vice President, The Science Honor Society Secretary, Mini-Thon Vice President and HOBY Ambassador. I am also an elected member of the student council and Quiz Bowl for all 4 years of High School.
I am a member of the following Honor Societies: Phi Sigma World Language Honor Society, The National Honor Society, The Math Honor Society, The Social Studies Honor Society, The Science Honor Society and the English Honor Society.
Outside of the classroom, I have many interests including golf, tennis, skiing and rafting (which I currently teach). I also play a major role at my local Synagogue, where I volunteer and teach the young students to read Hebrew.
I recently won the Matthew Hill Memorial scholarship for $1000 from the Blue Mountain Eagles Foundation for being the "best all around male student" of which I am very proud.
I plan to pursue a degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder in the Fall of 2024 with the hopes of learning everything that space has to teach me. I will work hard and diligently to be the best student I can with the hopes of serving humanity and making the earth a better place to live.

Avani Doshi Memorial Scholarship
I love understanding how things work. That sounds like a simple statement but it describes my interests since I was able to pick things up with my hands and observe them. Anything that had two or more parts, I would disassemble before my mother's eyes, before she had the chance to stop me. As I got older, my skills evolved from just taking things about to putting them back together, which my mother appreciated when her toaster or other gadgets wouldn't work. In middle school I became fascinated with space when I saw a picture of The Magnificent Horsehead Nebula which is approximately 1500 light years away. I was intrigued with the idea that simple dust, absent of oxygen, can shape itself into such a recognizable and majestic earth animal. This image lead to my developing enchantment with the discovery of space. From that moment, I was hooked. I devoured all information NASA made public and told anyone who would listen about my plans to become an Aerospace Engineer.
I am very lucky in that my family encouraged my interest and sent me to space camp for 5 days at the Kennedy Space Center. Up until this time in my life, I can honestly say, that was the best 5 days of my life (although my mother tells me she hopes as I get older that changes)! The camp counselors spent so much time with us allowing us to work together on projects together which included building spacecrafts and then competing to launch them. I named my spacecraft MABS which stood for Mars And Back Safely, because everyone knows that just getting to Mars is half the battle...the more important part is getting the astronauts back home safely. I made lifelong friends at that camp who shared my interests and loved collaborating to make missions seamless.
In high school, it seemed as though there were not a lot of students who were interested in aerospace, so I found some social media platforms with people of all ages whom I could share my daily "space news" with. I was accustomed to having interests that most teenagers would consider "different" so this didn't really bother me. Of course, being the only Jewish kid in a school district of 1200 students kind of prepared me for being "different". I am lucky that I had many teachers who encouraged me to nurture my interests and allowed me to start the Space Club in my high school. Which, to my surprise, at the end of my sophomore year, had 22 members! In this club, I would make up agendas every week of activities and hands on science projects to perform as groups. I really am thankful for that experience because I learned my strengths and weakness when acting as a leader, and learned that working together to meet a common goal brings people together on a totally different level.
I am currently enrolled in University of Colorado Boulder in the Aerospace Program where I will pursuing my dream career. It is quite an expensive university, so I will need to have student loans for all 5 years of my schooling. I would so appreciate it if the Avani Doshi Scholarship Board could help to fund my dream by choosing me for this amazing scholarship. Thank you for this opportunity.
