Dear Ms. Hansell,
It has been an honour for me to receive the Rose Nolan Scholarship. As a member of the Tsimshian nation of Kitsumkalum, from the northwest coast of British Columbia, I am strongly committed to making a contribution to the economic and social success of the First Nations communities in Canada. The Rose Nolan Scholarship allowed me to pursue my ambitions at university to the fullest extent of my abilities.

When I received the Rose Nolan scholarship in the summer of 2008, I was able to give up part-time restaurant employment and focus on my studies. I cannot express the relief this was to me; finally, my school semesters could be spent on school. As a result, the scholarship helped me to remain in good standing academically. I was able to undertake economics-related employment such as working part-time as a teaching assistant in undergraduate Economics courses. [Continue Reading]

Dear Ms. Hansell,
I would very much like to tell you where I am and how the Rose Nolan Scholarship has helped through post secondary to where I am at today.

This scholarship has helped both my family and I while I attended post secondary education at Cambrian College to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) degree collaboratively through Laurentian University.
