"Every single penny helps, and as the granddaughter of refugees and the daughter of immigrants, I carry with me my family’s deep value for education. It’s something we’ve always strived for, and being able to continue that trend is incredibly meaningful to me. My mom wasn’t able to go to post-secondary, so being here means so much, not only to me but to my entire family. Making them proud, especially as I start this educational journey and a co-op program that will provide the stability I always wanted growing up, has been emotional and rewarding. Your support has made this possible, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunities that lie ahead because of it."

"These funds are of immense significance to me. They not only reduce the financial strain on my family, but also affirm my hard work and dedication. Winning a scholarship is more than just financial support; it is recognition of my efforts and achievements. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the donors who make these scholarships possible."
