Jasleen Rattan

I am a third-year Criminal Justice and Public Policy student at the University of Guelph and a proud childhood cancer survivor. Overcoming leukemia at a young age taught me resilience, determination, and the importance of perseverance. These experiences have inspired me to pursue a career in law, where I hope to advocate for others and make a meaningful difference in my community. I am honoured to receive this scholarship and grateful for the support it provides as I continue working toward my academic and professional goals
