Fox Pest Control Recognizes Shreyan Singha as '25 Scholarship Winner

LOGAN, Utah – Fox Pest Control announced Shreyan Singha as the recipient of the 2025 Fox Pest Control Future Leaders Scholarship. Fox Pest Control said Singha was selected from a competitive group of applicants and stood out for his commitment to mental health advocacy, community healing and youth empowerment.

Singha was born and raised in Coral Springs, Fla. He is currently a freshman at Duke University, where he plans to major in statistics and biology, with aspirations to work in healthcare consulting and investment banking.

Singha’s essay demonstrated profound emotional maturity, courage and leadership rooted in lived experience. His journey of advocacy began in 2018, when the tragic Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting forever altered the safety and spirit of his community. The trauma that followed — both visible and invisible — became a defining catalyst for his mission, said Fox Pest Control. 

After the passing of Marjory Stoneman Douglas sophomore Calvin Desir emphasized the deep connection between trauma and mental health, Singha recognized the urgent need for better education, stigma reduction and support systems, said Fox Pest Control. Despite personal struggles, he made the courageous decision to publicly share his story in a local newspaper. His vulnerability helped others — including a middle school student who told him his words made him feel less alone, the company said. 

Determined to contribute in a more formal capacity, Singha dove deeper into the subject by taking AP Psychology and collaborating with Dr. Sonali Rajan of Columbia University on a systematic research review of school mental health systems. Their work identified major gaps — such as understaffing and insufficient trauma-response strategies — which Singha then brought directly to policymakers, said Fox Pest Control. 

Singha has served alongside Florida Representative Christine Hunschofsky, contributed to U.S. Representative Jared Moskowitz’s Youth Congressional Cabinet, organized Youth Mental Health Roundtables and helped mobilize youth advocates who sent more than 400 emails to state and local leaders supporting increased school mental health funding.

His service extends beyond policy, said Fox Pest Control. Singha founded MEWE, a youth-led mental health organization dedicated to awareness and stigma reduction. Through MEWE’s blog, young people from 23 states and Aruba have shared personal stories, reaching more than 3,000 readers. Singha also launched a podcast featuring conversations with mental health professionals, policy leaders and child welfare experts, helping amplify the conversation nationally.

MEWE’s work earned a $2,000 award from the National Society of High School Scholars. Still, Singha said the most meaningful work remains the community healing discussions held on the anniversaries of the 2018 tragedy — spaces where vulnerability, empathy and unity help transform grief into resilience.

As part of his scholarship award, Singha selected Kids of Love, a nonprofit close to his heart, to receive a donation from Fox Pest Control. Since middle school, he has volunteered with the organization. Kids of Love supports children with debilitating illnesses both emotionally and financially — hosting events at hospitals, helping fund Make-A-Wish experiences and providing relief to families facing unimaginable challenges, said Fox Pest Control. 

“This scholarship helps me further reach my goal of making healthcare more accessible in two ways. It allows me to further my studies in learning the business behind healthcare so I can understand more as to how to make healthcare more affordable. The scholarship also allows me to support a charity close to my heart: Kids of Love," said Singha. "This local non-profit works hard to support children with debilitating illnesses and their families both financially and emotionally.”

The Fox Pest Control Future Leaders Scholarship will reopen for applications in 2026. Additional details —including deadlines, eligibility requirements, and updates — will be shared soon. Students passionate about service, advocacy and leadership are encouraged to follow Fox Pest Control's website and social channels for announcements.
