We are continually inspired by the many letters of gratitude we receive from students who have used our scholarships to advance their education and create new opportunities for themselves.
I am currently a grade 12 visual arts major in the Claude Watson arts program at Earl Haig. Over the past few years, I have dedicated my time to extracurricular activities and student leadership roles, including being the President of my school’s Athletic Council, a Women in STEM ambassador, and the co-president of the Visual Arts Council. I love to swim, read, crochet, and play piano during my free time. I want to thank you for your generosity and support through this award. I plan to study electrical engineering at the University of Toronto. Receiving this award means a lot to me in continuing my post-secondary studies. Thank you again for your support.

As a Justice Administration student at Seneca, one of the most rewarding parts of my program has been learning about the Canadian legal system and using that knowledge to support my community. Outside of school, I am a mother and run a support group for other mothers. Because this award celebrates advocacy and support for women and girls, it is especially meaningful to me and inspires me to continue making a positive difference in my community.
My goal is to work with the Parole Board of Canada. Balancing school, work, single parenthood and maintaining a strong GPA has been challenging. This scholarship eases the financial burden and allows me to stay focused. I am deeply grateful to the generous donors whose support makes opportunities like this possible.
