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
Scarlett Coulter
My name is Scarlett and I will be pursuing a degree in Studio Art (Bachelor of Arts and Honours) through the University of Guelph. Throughout high school, I have developed a unique passion for merging artistic expression with advocacy, using creativity to raise awareness and drive meaningful effect. By pursuing studio art in university, I hope to nurture these skills so I can continue making impactful art throughout my career and in turn help the people that need it the most. Thank you for this honour!
