I am incredibly thankful for receiving the Brain Tumor Foundation award generously funded by R. Angus Legacy Fund. Having received this award relieves some financial pressure of paying for college, in turn allowing me to focus on my studies.

I am honoured, humbled and proud to be one of the recipients of a 2023 Youth Education Award! I am forever grateful to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and the generous donor(s) honoring Alison Watts for granting me this award.

Receiving this award means so much to me. The scholarship will take away a lot of my financial stress and allow me to focus on school, continue to pursue my dreams, and strive for excellence despite any setbacks that may occur.

I would like to thank you for choosing me to receive The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada Scholarship Education Award. Receiving this scholarship means so much to me. It will allow me to focus on my studies rather than have to worry about how to pay for them.

I want to thank the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and its donors for the generous gift of this scholarship award. It means a lot to me that people are so supportive of students, like myself, who have had many challenges in their lives after surviving a brain tumour.

This scholarship will help me achieve my goals of bringing disability representation to the world as well as be an advocate for those pursuing education living with a brain tumour and disabilities and show them that they can achieve anything no matter what.

I have several years of education and practice ahead of me before embarking on my career. This scholarship or bursary will enable me to pursue my learning and thrive in my university education, fostering a well-rounded development.

This award makes a significant difference in my life, affording me the opportunity to worry less about finances for my mother and I. Furthermore, being the recipient makes it possible for me to continue my education and pursue my passion for Classical studies at Western University.
