Celebrating Huron’s 2024 Scotiabank Scholars Program Scholarship Recipients

Huron
Aug 15 2024

LONDON, ON - Huron University was proud to honour the recipients of the 2024 Scotiabank Scholars Program scholarship at an on campus celebration this summer.

The Scotiabank Scholars Program is a joint initiative between Huron, Scotiabank, and the Thames Valley District School Board and is supported by ScotiaRISE, Scotiabank’s decade-long, $500 million initiative focused on enhancing economic resilience for underrepresented communities.

The aim of the Scotiabank Scholars Program is to break down societal barriers in order to create accessibility of post-secondary education - a mission that Huron University strongly upholds. It offers students the opportunity to participate in workshops for skill development, career exploration, and preparation for post-secondary education.

Sam, a past recipient, shares the importance of the program, saying, “The program really means a lot to me, as it has been the perfect opportunity for me to learn and connect with the lovely people at Huron. In addition to this, it has allowed me to inform high school students about what university life is like and to hopefully help them feel less anxious about the future post-secondary may hold for them,”

Another past recipient of this award, Maryam, shares that she learned the importance of networking and earning unique opportunities. She expressed that this program allowed her to excel at Huron.

This year, three local Grade 12 students, Ava, Kennedi, and Davyne, were awarded with this scholarship. For the last two years, these secondary school students have put great efforts into this program and are thrilled to be starting their undergraduate degrees at Huron in the fall.

The Scotiabank Scholarship provides full coverage of tuition and on campus housing during the award recipient’s four years of studying at Huron. It also provides students with internship and mentorship opportunities throughout their time at Huron.
