Cindy Wei is a force of nature. With interests ranging from ice dancing, yoga and aerial gymnastics to writing, teaching and medicine, the second-year kinesiology student holds the prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarship as well as several high-profile awards from UWaterloo.
This past summer Cindy used her International Experience Award to fund a trip to Nepal, where she spent a month volunteering in the Kanti Children’s Hospital in Kathmandu.
“Everything about the trip was awesome — I learned so much, both from volunteering at the hospital and living with my host family. I’m so grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way thanks to the wonderful people who fund these scholarships.”
