CEO Armir Harris’s experiences as an Albanian-born refugee inspired him to create an opportunity for the next generation of students to pursue the American dream. Shofur firmly believes in the importance of higher education, and Armir strives to pay his success forward by awarding the Shofur National Scholarship to one exceptional student.
