Please share what the Bursary program has meant for you so far in your post-secondary journey (mentorship, financial aid, career assistance)

The Bursary program has meant the world to me. To begin the mentorship has help me develop a better mindset, in addition to the various tips and strategies to improve my overall habits. Financially the bursary program has alleviated lots of stress and i'm forever grateful because of this I am able to invest more money to set up better for the future. Finally the career assistance has helped me not only find opportunities but also get a deeper insight into my major in addition to learn how a professional thinks.

2023 Academic/Personal Highlight

During this year, I have been able to quickly adjust to the high pace and large responsibility of university. Through help of the bi-weekly zoom meetings, I have also learned different ways to study and learn more effectively; because of these reasons I have been able to maintain a high average in my first semester. Personally through self-discipline I have been consistently going to the gym and slowly seeing results.
