Uendi Xhani – Fred S. Findling Memorial Immigrant Scholarship Awardee

The Probate Pro congratulates Uendi Xhani as a 2026 awardee of the Fred S. Findling Memorial Immigrant Scholarship.

The Probate Pro established the Fred S. Findling Memorial Immigrant Scholarship to assist students with their college tuition. We embrace the uniqueness of every human and respect the experience, identity, and beliefs of all people. The Probate Pro believes that all immigrants should have the opportunity to achieve their full educational potential.

The Probate Pro’s founder, Darren Findling, is a first-generation American. Darren’s father, Fred S. Findling, was a survivor of the Holocaust. Fred’s mother was murdered at Auschwitz, and his father was shot into a mass grave by the Nazis. Fred and his siblings survived by hiding in the forest in the Vichy region of France, along with a hundred other Jewish children. These orphaned children banded together, subsisting on radishes and potatoes that they dug from the ground for nearly two years. Finally, they were rescued and brought to America.

Fred was just ten years old at the time. His survival was dependent on many miracles and, most importantly, on the unconditional help of others. As a hardworking, committed immigrant student, Fred studied during the day and worked the night shift to pay for his college and graduate studies. Fred achieved the American Dream—becoming a well-respected attorney for over 50 years.

This scholarship was established in his memory to help others achieve the American Dream.

Originally from Albania, Uendi Xhani is pursuing a Master of Science in Climate Finance at Columbia University.
