Impact of receiving this award:

I am deeply honoured to have received a scholarship from the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. This generous support will enable me to pursue my nursing education and work towards becoming a Registered Nurse. Having experienced firsthand the challenges and triumphs associated with a brain tumour, I am committed to using my story and experiences to provide compassionate care to patients. I understand the vulnerability and strength required during such difficult times, and I am dedicated to supporting individuals and their families with empathy, understanding, and professional expertise. This award not only alleviates the financial burden of my education but also inspires me to continue striving for excellence in my studies and future career. I am eager to give back to the community and make a positive impact in the lives of those facing health challenges, ensuring they receive the best possible care during their most vulnerable moments.
