2024 Student Bursary Recipients

At the Regular Council Meeting on June 12, 2024, the South Stormont Student Bursary recipients were announced The following are excerpts from the successful recipients. 

Brendan Bedard, Carleton University - Neuroscience and Biology Bachelor's of Science Combined Honours

“My education goal is to continue to strive to do the best in my courses. I have always pushed myself to do well, and I will continue to do so while attending university. Ever since I can remember, my career goal has been to help others. Attending Carleton University will help me to achieve these goals through their
Neuroscience Program due to the high level of research and hands-on lab work available in the program, which is highly tailored to factors that affect the brain during and after development. The research in the program is cutting edge, allowing participants to keep up with rapidly expanding scientific breakthroughs. In the program I hope to learn more about how both the everyday environment and disease impact the brain both physically and psychologically, thus providing me with the education I need to be successful.”

Dawson Moke, Humber College – Sports Management

“Sports is where my passion lies, in particular basketball. I am excited to be attending Humber College in Toronto in the Sports Management Program this fall. As someone who resides in this township, I have seen firsthand how the power of sports brings communities together. My goal in pursuing the Sports Management Program is to learn how to leverage that power to create positive change, whether it's by promoting youth participation, organizing community events, or supporting sports programs to enhance and better-serve our township and surrounding areas.”

Lochlyn Sloan, University of Ottawa or RMC – Criminology or Military Strategies

“After University I plan on continuing with the Military with dreams of becoming a Military Police or Artillery Officer. I am currently waiting acceptance from RMC Military Strategies and Military Artillery Officer and have already been accepted into Ottawa U for Criminology with the path of Regular Officer Training Program
through the Canadian Armed Forces. Either school I attend will bring me to the position of working in the Military and pursuing my goals. I intend to travel and train through the military in the summers of my undergrad and gain experience for after my Undergrad Graduation.”
