“Thank you so much for the generous bursary! Although I am from Prince George originally, I have been enjoying the Kootenay life for a year and a half and find Selkirk to be a fantastic school with excellent instructors. Although my past education has mostly been in the arts, I’m working towards a career in medicine and am aiming to write the MCAT this summer. This bursary will cover the costs of my text books and help me to take fewer shifts over the semester and focus on studying! I truly appreciate your support!”
