The zhoonyaa I received from the Ted Nolan Foundation/Rose Nolan Scholarship was very helpful and took a lot of stress off me at that time. I am so grateful to their organization for the opportunity to apply for this prestigious award. If it wasn’t for opportunities such as this I don’t know what students would do.

“If I could talk to Ted Nolan for a minute, I give him a hug because the presentation was very emotional. I would tell him that he really has made a difference in the world and he should be proud of himself. He’s a role model for all aboriginals as well as human beings."

I just wanted to comment on your presentation that you did at Central Algoma Secondary School. It was an honor to meet you and get my picture with you. The info you handed to us made me learn so much more about life and how different people deal with it, like you and having your dream and well it came true that's amazing!

I reflect with gratitude on the Rose Nolan scholarship and all it has meant to me. The benefits have extended beyond academics and have touched all aspects of my life. It has given credibility to my resume. It has allowed me to develop personally in terms of health and fitness. I hope everyone at the Ted Nolan Foundation and in the Nolan family understand the genuine difference the scholarship makes. Thank you

Reading Rose Nolan’s story has inspired me to complete my degree in knowing that learning is a life long process. Rose Nolan has empowered me to be a strong and resilient Anishnaabe-kwe.

"It was eye-opening to hear that he had big dreams even though there was small opportunities because he is an aboriginal. His childhood memories of working hard and not having the basic necessities shows me just how lucky I really am.”
