“When I graduated from grade 12, I was awarded with multiple bursaries which totaled approximately $5,000. This changed my life and financially allowed me to attend the University of British Columbia. My parents had three jobs each and were extremely hard working, but the financial pressure of university tuition was stressful for our family. I am now in a position to give back and help young students in a similar situation. My hope is that when these recipients are established in their careers, they will pass on the kindness to another student.” – Katrina Sriranpong
