The PSSF has been one of AUC’s most successful scholarship programs. Since its establishment in 1990, the fund has sponsored a total of 133 students who have demonstrated exceptional academic potential. In fact, 73 percent of PSSF students have graduated with distinction, receiving high honors. The scholarship continues to make positive, life changing impressions on the lives of many bright students.

Sabry, who taught economics at AUC and who has been supporting the university since 2001, also contributed towards the Merit Scholarship for Women in 2002 that is awarded to deserving female undergraduate students specializing in economics or science.

Sabry received her B.A., magna cum laude, and her M.A. in economics from AUC. She received her Ph.D. from the Stanford Business School, where she was awarded the J.M. Olin Graduate Fellowship, the Graduate School of Business Fellowship, and a Ford Foundation Fellowship.

Sabry is vice president at NERA Economic Consulting, a New York based firm that creates strategies, studies, reports, expert testimony, and policy recommendations in industrial and financial economics.

Sabry is also the author of various articles on the economics of subprime lending, econometric analysis of mutual funds' advisory fees, the impact of tort reforms on forecasting future liabilities, claiming behavior, and determinants of antidumping protection. Prior to joining NERA, she was a post-doctoral fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute, Washington, D.C.
