I have found that success in the sciences, and likely any area of academia, is largely influenced by life conditions outside of the institution of study. One vital personal life condition is freedom of time to be able to study thoroughly and without excessive interruptions. The financial support that this award offers will allow me to spend much more time studying, as I will not need to work as much to stay out of debt. This financial relief will also help free up valuable mental space, once taken up by financial stress, to be used for more productive tasks…

Thank you sincerely for this generous award.

– Nathan (Y.P. Heung Foundation Post-Secondary Sciences Award)

I am completing my final year of my English degree at Kwantlen. I truly appreciate this award, especially, because throughout my time at Kwantlen, I have attempted to raise the profile of the English department. I have, for instance, worked alongside Dr. Heather Cyr, Jennifer Williams, and Dr. Asma Sayed as a research assistant. Additionally, I helped facilitate writing workshops throughout my time as a peer writing tutor. During these workshops, students would ask me why I chose English as my major. I would tell them that aside from my love of literature, the skills I learned throughout my degree are invaluable; skills, including critical thinking, reading, writing, summarizing, and analyzing are life skills that I will take with me wherever my future steps may take me. My experience with KPU’s English department has been incredibly positive, and I like to share my experience with new KPU students, who are still trying to decide on a major… I would like to thank you once again for your support and generous contribution to my education. Receiving this award not only reaffirms my choice to obtain an English degree but it reinforces my self-confidence.

– Lakeisha (Dorothy Cyr English Award)

As a single parent with full parenting responsibilities and in a full-time nursing program I have been unable to maintain regular employment. As such I have relied on student loans to cover my finances. However, with the rising cost of living, I have needed to strictly budget in order to get by… I can’t thank you enough for choosing me to be the recipient of the award this year. It will help me immensely with keeping up with living costs for my children and I, as I finish my degree and study for my final exam in the new year.
