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

I’ve had the honour of being introduced to so many people and incredible opportunities thanks to the Bursary program. Specifically the M2M Youth event, I met some incredible people who shared their journey with me and recommended some great books that would help with personal development. I look forward to the mentorship calls every other Saturday as they lift my mood and share great ways to better yourself personally and academically. Thanks to the Bursary program I am able to pursue an academic career I’m interested in.

2023 Academic/Personal Highlight

I’d like to highlight that I graduated high school in 2023 with honours and as an Ontario scholar!
