Samar Al Ansari Awards for Excellence

Samar Al Ansari was a well-rounded IKNS student who excelled both academically and in extracurricular activities and she was a key member of the IKNS Honor Society and the girls soccer team. She was also known for her amiable and compassionate qualities.

After Samar’s tragic death, which followed her graduation in 2006 and in memory of her outstanding contribution to school life, Samar’s family established two annual awards. These are given to students who excel in economics and girls soccer, the two areas Samar was deeply passionate about and in which she distinguished herself the most.



The two awards are:

  1. The Samar Al Ansari Award for Analytical and Critical Thinking in Economics
  2. The Samar Al Ansari Award for Girls Soccer
