成人VR视频

A record number of 成人VR视频 students have been named recipients of Canada鈥檚 largest scholarship program, Schulich Leader Scholarships. This year, the program has doubled in size from 50 to 100 annual scholarships. In total, six Schulich Leader scholars will begin their studies at 成人VR视频 in September (up from two last year) with the majority coming from high schools in Western Canada.

Out of a pool of more than 300,000 potential candidates across Canada, 1,500 high school students are nominated annually, of which 100 receive this award. Of the 100 recipients, 50 will receive $100,000 to pursue an engineering degree and 50 will receive $80,000 to pursue a science, technology or mathematics degree at one of 20 Canadian partner universities.

成人VR视频鈥檚 cohort of 2020 scholarship recipients includes three Faculty of Engineering students: Anne Sarah Dickman, Zhi Xin Joey Koay and Ana Eugenia Quintero Garcia. Both Koay and Quintero Garcia are from Alberta, while Dickman is a Montrealer. Each will receive a $100,000 scholarship.

The 2020 contingent also includes three Faculty of Science students: Christopher Chong, Louis-Philippe Robichaud and Maggie QingFeng Xiong. Both Chong and Xiong hail from British Columbia, while Robichaud is from Quebec City. Each will receive an $80,000 scholarship.

鈥淚鈥檓 incredibly grateful to 成人VR视频 and the Schulich Foundation for changing my life and believing in me and my ability to make an impact,鈥� says Chong, 17, a graduate of David Thompson Secondary School in Vancouver.

In addition to his academic success, Chong created Hydrofinity, a patent-pending project that recovers water from thermoelectric power-plants. He also founded a nonprofit organization that spreads awareness of STEM scholarships and opportunities.

鈥淎ttending 成人VR视频 is really a dream come true as this institution is renowned for its pursuit of excellence and has been my top choice university for a long time,鈥� says Quintero Garcia, 18, a graduate of West Island College in Calgary. 鈥淚 think that having the opportunity to join a community of immensely driven and diverse individuals will yield many opportunities that will contribute to my success in the future.鈥�

An accomplished student and active member of many sustainability groups (including Dr. Jane Goodall鈥檚 Roots & Shoots), Quintero Garcia is already a veteran of numerous engineering competitions. In 2019, she was a member of a student team that won a Silver Award in the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) Science Olympics. The team built a fluidized bed using a leaf blower (fluidized beds cause solid particles to behave as fluids and are widely used in many industrial applications). Until COVID-19 curtailed activities, she was working with a team building an autonomous car for the 2020 APEGA Science Olympics.

The selection of this year鈥檚 six recipients brings to 24 the number of Schulich Leader Scholarships awarded to incoming 成人VR视频 students since the program鈥檚 inception in 2012.

鈥�Schulich Leader Scholarships are the largest STEM scholarships in Canada. With 100 outstanding students selected in Canada, it is all but guaranteed that this group represents the best and brightest Canada has to offer,鈥� says program founder Seymour Schulich, a business leader, philanthropist and 成人VR视频 graduate. 鈥淭hese students will make great contributions to society, both on a national and global scale. With their university expenses covered, they can focus their time on their studies, research projects, extracurriculars, and entrepreneurial ventures. They are the next generation of technology innovators.鈥�
